Summary

Umatilla High School is a mid-sized high school in Umatilla, FL, serving 922 students in grades 9-12 within the Lake County school district.

Umatilla High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate, which reached 97.7% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly exceeding the district (94.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. This is the highest graduation rate among comparable Lake County high schools, even surpassing the higher-ranked Mt. Dora High School (98.3%) and far exceeding Leesburg High School (91.7%) and Eustis High School (92.1%). However, the school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism, as 56.2% of students were chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year—nearly double the district average (37.7%) and far above the state average (31.4%). This creates a fascinating paradox: the school appears to have effective systems to help students complete coursework and graduate, even if they are not attending class regularly.

Academically, Umatilla shows a mixed performance. It excels in Geometry and US History, often meeting or exceeding district and state averages, but struggles significantly in Algebra 1, where only 30% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year compared to 54% in the district and 63% statewide. The school spends $11,498 per student, which is higher than Leesburg High School ($10,082) and Mt. Dora High School ($9,776), yet this investment has not yet translated into top-tier test scores. Despite these challenges, Umatilla is on an upward trajectory, with its state ranking climbing from the 30th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, and its graduation rate rising from 88.9% to 97.7% over the same period.
