Summary:
The Leon school district in Florida contains 8 high schools that vary significantly in size, academic performance, and student demographics. While all schools have the same 4-year graduation rate of 89.7%, there are stark differences in test score proficiency, with Lawton Chiles High School and SAIL consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state, while Success Academy at Ghazvini Learning Center lags significantly behind.
The data reveals a wide range in student populations, from 58 students at Success Academy to 1,928 at Leon High School. Funding also varies, with per-student spending ranging from $7,589 at Lincoln High School to $19,002 at Success Academy. However, the data does not show a clear correlation between spending and academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just resources may be at play in driving student performance.
The Leon school district also serves a diverse student population, with some schools like Pace Center for Girls having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, while others like Lawton Chiles have a much lower rate. The data also suggests that the type of school, such as magnet or traditional public, may play a role in academic outcomes, with the two magnet schools in the district performing lower than the traditional public high schools.
