Summary

Rosenwald High School is a public high school in Panama City, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 324 students. The school is part of the Bay District, which is ranked 35 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Rosenwald High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Florida high schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 614 and 808 out of around 700-850 high schools.

Rosenwald High School significantly underperforms compared to the Bay District and the state of Florida on standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9% of Rosenwald students were proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 56% in the Bay District and 60% statewide. The school also has lower graduation rates, ranging from 68.7% to 91.4% over the past few years, which is below the state average of around 90%. Additionally, Rosenwald High School has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 78.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as North Bay Haven Career Academy, Central High School, and A. Crawford Mosley High School, significantly outperform Rosenwald High School on academic measures like test scores and graduation rates, despite serving similar student populations. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and poverty at Rosenwald High School may be contributing to the school's poor academic outcomes, and the school's high per-student spending suggests that additional resources are being directed to the school, but these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student performance.
