Summary

Lake Minneola High School is a public high school in Minneola, Florida, serving 2,281 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lake County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lake Minneola High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.0% to 97.6% in recent years, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, lags behind the state and district averages, particularly in Algebra 1 and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24% of Lake Minneola students were proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to 55% in the district and 60% statewide. However, the school performs better in subjects like Biology 1 and US History, where its proficiency rates are closer to or even exceed the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Pinecrest Lakes Middle/High Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Lake Minneola High School and the surrounding public schools in test scores, with proficiency rates that are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 46.1% over the past few years, is on par with the nearby schools and suggests a broader issue within the Lake County School District.
