High Schools in Wakulla

Wakulla County is home to a single high school, Wakulla High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in Crawfordville, FL, with a total enrollment of 1,369 students. The school is part of the Wakulla County School District, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks 25th out of 70 districts in Florida. Wakulla High School itself earned a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, ranking 233rd out of 838 schools statewide—a notable improvement from its 317th place ranking the previous year.

Wakulla High School presents a mixed picture of performance. On the positive side, it boasts an exceptional graduation rate of 98.8%, well above the state average of 92.2%, and excels in Biology 1 and US History, with 86% and 77% of students proficient, respectively, both exceeding state averages. However, the school struggles significantly in math: only 35% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 (compared to 63% statewide) and 50% in Geometry (versus 56% statewide). A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 37.9%—higher than the state average of 31.4%—creating a paradox where most students graduate despite missing substantial instructional time. The school also showed dramatic improvement in Algebra 1 proficiency, jumping from 20% to 35% year-over-year, suggesting recent interventions may be taking effect.

With a student-teacher ratio of 19.8:1 and per-student spending of $10,333, the school operates with moderate resources. The free/reduced lunch rate of 32.14% indicates a relatively affluent student body compared to state averages, making the math proficiency gap particularly noteworthy. For parents, the key takeaway is that Wakulla High School offers strong outcomes in graduation, science, and history, but families should be aware of the attendance challenges and the need for additional math support to help students reach state-level proficiency.
