Summary

Florin High is a large public high school serving approximately 1,700 students in grades 9-12 within the Elk Grove Unified district in Sacramento, known for its high graduation rate despite significant socioeconomic challenges.

Academically, Florin High faces considerable hurdles, with proficiency rates in core subjects like math and science significantly lower than both the district average and nearby schools such as Pleasant Grove High and Sheldon High. The school also contends with a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the district average. However, it demonstrates notable resilience with a graduation rate above 90%, which exceeds both district and state figures and is higher than some schools with similar student demographics, like Valley High.

Florin High serves a student population with a high level of economic need, which correlates with greater challenges across the district. The school receives more funding per student than many of its peers, suggesting targeted resources for its needs. While its academic performance places it above district alternative schools like William Daylor High, it remains below other comprehensive high schools in the area, highlighting a persistent gap between investment and outcomes that the community is working to address.
