Summary:

The Seminole school district in Florida is a high-performing district serving 71 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, and is ranked in the 89th percentile statewide.

Standout schools in the district include Crooms Academy Of Information Technology, a magnet high school with a perfect 100% graduation rate and top test scores, and Hagerty High School, which boasts a 97.8% graduation rate and the lowest chronic absenteeism among traditional high schools. At the elementary level, Choices In Learning Charter is the top performer, ranking in the 99th percentile in Florida with near-perfect proficiency rates and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 7.4%. Conversely, schools like Elevation High School face significant challenges, with a 34.3% graduation rate and 85.4% chronic absenteeism, while Pine Crest Elementary School and Wicklow Elementary School have the highest percentages of students on free/reduced lunch and critically low proficiency rates.

Key metrics show the district's graduation rate averages 94.4%, well above the state average, and chronic absenteeism is 25.3%, below the state average of 31.4%. A notable finding is the "middle school math dip," where proficiency drops sharply from 7th to 8th grade, likely because advanced students take Algebra 1 separately. Additionally, magnet and charter schools like Seminole Science Charter School and Galileo School For Gifted Learning consistently outperform, while per-student spending varies widely but does not directly correlate with success, as top performers like Lake Brantley High School have relatively low spending.
