Summary

Alee Academy Charter School in Eustis, FL, is a small high school serving 181 students in grades 9-12 within the Lake district, but it is facing a severe crisis that sets it far apart from nearby schools.

The most alarming statistic is the school's graduation rate, which was just 24.7% for the 2024-2025 school year. This is dramatically lower than neighboring schools like Leesburg High School (91.7%) and the district average of 94.4%. This crisis is fueled by an extreme chronic absenteeism rate of 92.2%, meaning nearly every student is missing significant amounts of school. Academic proficiency is also critically low, with only 5% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 10% in 10th-grade ELA, compared to district averages of 54% and 58%, respectively. The student-to-teacher ratio has skyrocketed to 45:1, more than double that of any nearby school, including Apopka High (25:1), which makes individualized support nearly impossible.

Interestingly, the school's per-student spending of $9,605 is comparable to other Lake County high schools, suggesting the issue is not a lack of funding but how it is used. The only school with a similar profile is Sheeler High Charter in the Orange district, which also has a low graduation rate (37.8%) and high absenteeism (76.8%). For parents, this data indicates that Alee Academy is struggling with foundational issues of attendance and staffing that prevent it from providing a stable learning environment, and it requires a radical intervention to improve outcomes for its students.
