Lone Star High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida high schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9% of Lone Star students were proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to 57% in the Duval district and 60% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated between 61.6% and 90.9% in recent years, generally lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Lone Star High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.9% to 99.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Douglas Anderson School Of The Arts, Englewood High School, and Andrew Jackson High School, Lone Star High School's academic performance is significantly lower, with these nearby schools having higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage at Lone Star High School, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.

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.
