Summary

Orange Park High School is a large public high school in Orange Park, FL, serving 1,844 students in grades 9-12 as part of the high-performing Clay County School District. While the school has some bright spots, it faces significant challenges that set it apart from its immediate neighbors. Most notably, Orange Park has a chronic absenteeism rate of 41.3%, which is dramatically higher than the district average of 26.7% and far exceeds rates at nearby schools like Oakleaf High School (30.6%) and Fleming Island High School (32.8%). This absenteeism crisis appears to be a major factor behind the school's 3-star rating, the lowest among Clay County's five traditional high schools.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture. On the positive side, Orange Park has demonstrated steady improvement in English Language Arts, with 10th-grade proficiency rising from 47% to 68% over the past four years. The school also performs relatively well in Biology 1 (73% proficient) and US History (78% proficient), close to district averages. However, Algebra 1 remains a persistent weakness, with only 43% of students proficient compared to the district average of 71%. This is the lowest math proficiency rate among all Clay County high schools, including Middleburg High School (52%) and Ridgeview High School (65%). The graduation rate of 93.7% is above the state average but is the lowest in the district, where peers like Oakleaf (99.3%) and Fleming Island (97.9%) boast much higher rates.

Compared to schools in the neighboring Duval County district, Orange Park performs better overall, but the more relevant comparison is to its Clay County peers, where it is a clear outlier on the downside. The school spends slightly less per student ($8,942) than other Clay high schools, suggesting the performance gap is more about school culture and addressing root causes like absenteeism and math instruction rather than funding. For parents, the key takeaway is that Orange Park has strengths in English and science, but the school's leadership must prioritize tackling chronic absenteeism and boosting math proficiency to help students keep pace with their high-achieving district neighbors.
