Summary

Biscayne High School is a public charter high school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 204 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Biscayne High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Florida high schools, with a 0-star rating.

Biscayne High School significantly underperforms compared to the Duval District and Florida state averages across various standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 4% of Biscayne students were proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to 57% in the Duval District and 60% statewide. The school also has relatively low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 65% to 90.9% over the past few years, compared to the state average of around 90%. Additionally, Biscayne High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.9% to 97.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

In comparison, nearby magnet and high-performing schools, such as Stanton College Preparatory and Darnell Cookman Middle/High School, have much higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. These challenges suggest that Biscayne High School may need to focus on strategies to address chronic absenteeism, provide targeted academic interventions, and explore ways to increase student engagement and support to improve the school's performance.
