Summary

Palmetto Ridge High School is a public high school in Naples, Florida, serving 2,035 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Palmetto Ridge High School has maintained a 3-star rating over the past several years, underperforming compared to the district and state averages on key metrics.

Palmetto Ridge High School's test scores consistently lag behind the Collier County and Florida state averages, with proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (35%), Geometry (57%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (59%) significantly lower than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has been declining, from 93.0% in 2023-2024 to 88.0% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the Collier County average. Palmetto Ridge High School also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.4% to 31.4% over the past few years, much higher than the district average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Barron Collier High School and Aubrey Rogers High School, Palmetto Ridge High School consistently underperforms on key metrics. Despite increased spending per student, from $8,226 in 2020-2021 to $10,326 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.69% to 61.12%, suggests that Palmetto Ridge High School serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to the surrounding schools, which may be a contributing factor to the school's challenges.
