Summary

Graceville School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Graceville, Florida, with 474 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.3. The school is part of the Jackson School District, which is ranked 29th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Graceville School has seen a steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rates, increasing from 76.6% in 2022-2023 to 89.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average of 85.7%. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 43.2% over the past two school years, significantly higher than the state average of around 15-20%. Graceville School's test scores are generally lower than the Jackson District and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (52%), Geometry (5%), and Civics (26%) well below the state averages.

Graceville School's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.82% to 67.09% over the past three school years, is significantly higher than the state average of around 55-60%. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges compared to its peers, such as Bethlehem High School and Poplar Springs High School, which have generally higher performance in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support could help Graceville School improve student outcomes and better serve its community.
