Summary

Edward H. White High School is a large traditional public high school in Jacksonville, FL, serving over 1,600 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Duval County Public School District.

The most striking feature of Edward H. White is its exceptional graduation rate of 98.4%, which rivals elite magnet schools like Stanton College Preparatory and Paxon School/Advanced Studies. However, this success contrasts sharply with low academic proficiency in core subjects like Algebra 1 (46%) and 9th Grade ELA (38%), which are well below district and state averages. The school shows relative strength in Biology 1 and US History, where proficiency rates (72% for both) nearly match state averages. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, which has risen to 64%—nearly double the district average and far higher than nearby Frank H. Peterson Academies (48.1%), a school with similar demographics that generally outperforms Edward H. White academically.

While the school's state ranking has improved from the 23rd to the 37th percentile over the past four years, this positive trend is undermined by worsening attendance issues. The data suggests Edward H. White excels at getting students to graduate, likely through credit recovery and alternative pathways, but struggles to ensure grade-level academic achievement. For parents, this means the school offers a strong path to a diploma but may require extra support at home to address gaps in core academic skills and attendance.
