Summary

Port St. Joe High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 515 students in Port Saint Joe, Florida, which is part of the Gulf District.

Despite being part of a lower-ranked district, Port St. Joe High School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Florida high schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 318 out of 844 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in most subject areas, such as Algebra 1, Civics, and 6th grade Math. However, the school lags behind the state in some areas, like Biology 1 and 8th grade Science. The school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.6% to 89.7% over the past few years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the district and state averages.

One area of concern is the school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have ranged from 30.9% to 59.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite these challenges, the school appears to be allocating resources effectively, with higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages.
