Summary

Eustis High School is a mid-sized public high school in Eustis, FL, serving 1,274 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Lake County School District.

The most pressing concern for Eustis High is its chronic absenteeism rate, which at 61.9% is the highest among nearby schools like Leesburg High School (59.1%) and Mt. Dora High School (49.8%), and far above the state average of 31.4%. This attendance challenge appears closely tied to academic performance, particularly in math: only 24% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 63% statewide. However, the school shows notable strengths in other subjects, with 75% proficiency in US History (above the state average) and 66% in Biology 1, outperforming Tavares High School in both areas. The graduation rate has been volatile, dropping from 95.9% to 85.8% before recovering to 92.1%, while nearby Umatilla High School maintains a more stable 97.7% rate.

Interestingly, Eustis spends $11,355 per student—more than Mt. Dora High ($9,776) and Tavares High ($9,754)—yet this higher investment hasn't translated into better overall outcomes. This suggests the school may benefit from reallocating resources toward attendance interventions and replicating the successful teaching strategies seen in its US History and Biology departments. For context, the nearby Alee Academy Charter School faces even more severe challenges, with a 24.7% graduation rate and 92.2% chronic absenteeism, highlighting that Eustis's issues, while significant, are not the most extreme in the area.

Your child's success at this school is completely on your shoulders. Counselor are not motivated, never available, & never guide the student. Counselors & Teachers dismiss students when they try to get assistance. As a parent you will have to make several calls/emails to get any issues resolved. Students are left on their own to discover scholarships, navigate the SAT, or college application assistance.
I’ve had two children go through Eustis High School, it has become worse over time. My child is completely on their own, they are lucky I was able to assist them. Most parents don't have the understanding/resources to help their child.
I am disappointed in this school, they need to start treating students like customers, & stop dismissing them as if they are a bother. Administrators purposely omit & hide their email or contact information. This is due to the frustration of parents trying to get things done. When a counselor or teacher doesn't resolve an issue, parents get frustrated & want to communicate with the administrators for assistance. The Principle has stopped that.
This high school needs a completely new focus. It's time for them to stop just collecting a pay check. Close Quote

My child attended Eustis High School for the 2011-2012 year. As a parent, I want my child to get the best education possible and make sure my child has a learning environment with no distractions. My child is put in all advanced classes, and has straight A's. She is doing excellent in school with no problems. The teachers and staff and Eustis High are great, and are always very welcoming. I highly recommend this school. Mr.Larry, the principle at Eustis High, is very involved in the kid's learning, as well as the sports.
I rate this school with 5 stars!!! Close Quote
