Summary

Sunshine High School-Greater Orlando Campus is a small alternative school in Orlando, FL, serving 395 students in grades 7-12 within the Orange district, where 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most critical concern for parents is the school's extremely low graduation rate, which has consistently been the lowest in the region, hovering between 14% and 32% over the last five years. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 32.3% of students graduated, compared to over 95% at nearby schools like Dr. Phillips High and Maynard Evans High. Academic proficiency is in the single digits—for example, only 5% of students passed Algebra 1, and 0% passed 9th-grade ELA, while the district averages 63% and 57% respectively. A staggering 77.7% of students are chronically absent, more than double the district average of 35.2%, and the student-to-teacher ratio is 43.8:1, nearly double that of Olympia High (25:1).

Despite spending $9,458 per student—less than the district average—the school's model appears ineffective. In contrast, Acceleration West, another alternative school, spends $25,949 per student with an 11.1:1 ratio and achieves a 90.7% graduation rate. Nearby Orlando Science Middle High Charter has a 100% graduation rate and proficiency rates above 70%. While Sunshine High saw a slight improvement in 2024-2025, the 2025-2026 data shows a sharp decline, indicating the school remains in crisis.
