Summary

Yulee High School is a large public school in Yulee, FL, serving 1,486 students in grades 5 through 12 as part of the highly-rated Nassau County School District, which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.

Yulee High School presents a fascinating paradox: it boasts an exceptional graduation rate of 95.4%, outperforming both district and state averages, yet it also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.6% that has more than tripled in recent years. This is a stark contrast to its in-district rival, Fernandina Beach High School, which has a similar graduation rate (95.2%) but an even higher absenteeism rate (72.3%). Academically, the school shows clear strengths in Biology 1 and US History, where proficiency rates are well above state averages, but Algebra 1 is a persistent weakness, with a proficiency rate of 49% that is significantly below the district average of 80%. The school also stands out when compared to nearby Duval County schools; for example, its 9th Grade ELA proficiency of 72% is substantially higher than First Coast High School (47%) and William M. Raines High School (36%).

One unique factor is that Yulee serves grades 5-12, housing a middle school population, which makes direct comparisons to traditional 9-12 high schools less straightforward. The school’s per-student spending ($11,591) is higher than its in-district peers, but its student-teacher ratio (18.3) is also higher than Fernandina Beach (17.4), suggesting that higher spending may not translate into smaller class sizes. Overall, Yulee High School offers a strong academic environment for students who attend regularly, but the rising chronic absenteeism is a significant concern that parents should investigate further.
