Orange Park High School

Summary:

Orange Park High School is a public high school located in Orange Park, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,810 students. The school is part of the Clay District, which is ranked 10th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Orange Park High School has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, with a racial makeup of 39.17% White, 29.23% African American, 20.66% Hispanic, 3.09% Asian, and 7.29% two or more races. However, the school faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 42.2% to 45.4% in recent years, significantly higher than Middleburg High School (35.7%) and Fleming Island High School (25.8%). Additionally, Orange Park High School's test scores, while generally higher than the state average, tend to lag behind the Clay District and nearby schools, especially in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and English Language Arts.

Despite these challenges, Orange Park High School has maintained relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 89.9% to 96.3% in recent years. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 229 out of 807 Florida high schools in 2023-2024 to 310 out of 792 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in light of the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 99.83% to 100% in recent years, significantly higher than Middleburg High School (46.87%) and Fleming Island High School (21.33%).

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
