Summary

Martin County High School is a public high school located in Stuart, Florida, serving 2,122 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Martin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Martin County High School generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, including End-of-Course (EOC) exams and the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) for English Language Arts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 79% proficiency rate in EOC Biology 1, compared to the state average of 71%. Additionally, the school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88% to 96% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.3% to 35.6% in recent years, though it is still lower than the rates of some nearby schools, such as South Fork High School and Indiantown High School.

When comparing Martin County High School to nearby schools within the same district, such as Jensen Beach High School, Martin County High School generally performs better on standardized tests and has higher graduation rates. However, the nearby Clark Advanced Learning Center, a charter school, consistently outperforms Martin County High School and the state on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often exceeding 90% in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1. This suggests that the specialized, college-preparatory curriculum and smaller class sizes at Clark Advanced Learning Center may be contributing to its exceptional academic performance.

What people are saying

by a student
Monday, May 24, 2010

As a student, I completely discourage any parents from sending their students here. As a strait A student, who is involved in both athletics and clubs, I can honestly tell you the school is all aspects is crap. My tennis team has the worst coach I have ever had, and zero funding from the school. We don't even have a bus to go to away games. Even though were ranked third in the state, the school won't even pay for a bus for transportation. Instead our coach drives us to away games in his car. BEsides that as an AP student, I've passed my exams and excelled solely based on my own determination. Besides that the hostile environment I'm surrounded with is no help. THere are constant fights all around the campus, most are gang related. The campus is worn down and gross. I'v never used the school bathrooms in the past three years because they are so increadibly disgusting. Gas station bathrooms are cleaner. Classrooms are old, dusty, and smelly. Guidence counclers are thought of as a joke, they are absolutly useless and increadibly hard to see. When I needed a recomdation from mine, It took me a week before I could finally talk to her, and then almost two weeks before she finally wrote it. The student body is also less than impressive. MOst students party non stop and smoke and drink all weekend long. Students who aren't involved in this, study non stop and have zero social life. Ill be a senior next year and can honestly tell you my time here has been less than memorable. Close Quote
