Bay


Summary:

The Bay district in Florida has a diverse set of 48 schools, including 24 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 12 high schools, and 6 alternative schools. The schools vary greatly in their performance, with a few standout institutions like North Bay Haven Charter Academy and University Academy Sabl Inc ranking among the top 5% and 1% of Florida elementary schools, respectively. On the other hand, schools like Rosenwald High School, New Horizons Learning Center, and Cedar Grove Elementary are among the lowest-performing in the district and state.

Key metrics across the district show a wide range of outcomes. Graduation rates at high schools vary from 59% at Rosenwald High to 97.6% at North Bay Haven Career Academy. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with rates ranging from under 10% to over 90% at some schools. Proficiency rates on state assessments span from under 10% at the lowest-performing schools to over 90% at the top-performing charters, with the district and state averages falling in the 50-60% range.

The data highlights the need to understand the factors driving the success of the high-performing charter schools and how those practices could be replicated across the district. Addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring equity in educational opportunities and outcomes should also be key priorities for the Bay district. Overall, the wide variation in school performance suggests there is significant room for improvement to raise achievement levels districtwide.
