Wakulla Institute stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.3% to 97.6% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, with low test scores across various subjects and grade levels, such as 0% proficiency in Algebra 1, Geometry, and 10th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 60%, 55%, and 58%, respectively.

Despite the school's high spending per student, ranging from $19,291 to $26,563 over the past four school years, and its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.5 to 8.0 over the past three school years, the academic outcomes at Wakulla Institute suggest that the school could benefit from examining the practices of the higher-performing nearby schools and implementing targeted strategies to address the unique needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.06% to 63.08% over the past three school years.
