Summary

Palmetto Ridge High School in Naples, FL, is a large public school serving 2,054 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly-rated Collier County School District, which ranks in the top 19% of Florida districts.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptional graduation rate, which at 96.9% is nearly as high as top-performing peers like Barron Collier High School (97.9%) and Gulf Coast High School (98.6%), even though its overall state ranking is more mid-tier. Academically, Palmetto Ridge shines in Biology and English Language Arts, where it often beats both district and state averages. For example, 77% of students are proficient in Biology, and 10th-grade English proficiency is 69%, outperforming the district average of 68%. However, the school faces a significant challenge in Algebra 1, where only 32% of students are proficient—far below the district average of 75%. This persistent weakness is a key area for improvement, though students who pass Algebra 1 tend to do well in subsequent math courses like Geometry (57% proficient).

Palmetto Ridge has seen a sharp increase in economic disadvantage, with over 50% of students now eligible for free or reduced lunch, up from 37% the previous year. This rate is much higher than nearby schools like Aubrey Rogers High School (24%) and Barron Collier High School (31%). Despite this, the school spends less per student ($10,995) than many district peers, such as Golden Gate High School ($12,826). Chronic absenteeism, while lower than the state average, has risen to 18.6% and is now above the district average of 17.4%. Compared to Bonita Springs High School in the Lee County district, Palmetto Ridge benefits from higher per-student spending and stronger academic outcomes, highlighting the value of the Collier County system.
