Summary

Mater Academy Narcoossee High School is a small, high-performing charter high school in Orlando, FL, serving 185 students in grades 9-12 and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top 28% of Florida high schools. This intimate setting, with just 185 students, stands out dramatically from larger nearby schools like Lake Nona High (2,974 students) and Oak Ridge High (2,553 students), and it appears to foster strong student engagement. The school's most remarkable metric is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.8%, which is over 15 times lower than the Orange district average of 35.2% and far below the rates at nearby schools like Oak Ridge High (59.3%) and Colonial High (58.2%).

Academically, Mater Academy Narcoossee excels in several key areas, particularly in Geometry, where 78% of students are proficient—significantly higher than the district (59%) and state (56%) averages, and even outperforming high-performing neighbors like Lake Nona High (75%) and Cornerstone Charter Academy High (72%). The school also shines in 10th-grade English Language Arts (ELA), with a 72% proficiency rate that is 12 points above the district average, indicating strong college readiness. While Algebra 1 proficiency has been lower (45% in 2025-2026), the school has shown rapid improvement from a low of 14% in 2022-2023, suggesting effective targeted interventions. Compared to its closest competitor, Innovation High, Mater Academy outperforms in Geometry (78% vs. 57%), 10th-grade ELA (72% vs. 70%), and US History (85% vs. 81%).

Despite a significant demographic shift—with the free/reduced lunch percentage jumping from 8.33% in 2022-2023 to 46.49% in 2024-2025—the school has maintained its high academic performance and 4-star rating, demonstrating resilience and effective support for a diversifying student body. With per-student spending of $11,245, Mater Academy appears to use its resources efficiently, achieving strong outcomes compared to the much higher spending at some other small schools. For parents seeking a focused, high-engagement environment with strong math and literacy outcomes, Mater Academy Narcoossee offers a compelling option that stands out in the Orlando area.
