Summary

Zenith Accelerated Academy in Kissimmee, FL, is a small high school serving 343 students in grades 8-12 within the Osceola County School District, where about 64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most critical concern for parents is the school's graduation rate, which stands at just 41.3%—far below the district average of 91.1% and the state average of 92.2%. This is the lowest rate among nearby schools, with Neocity Academy and Osceola County School For The Arts both boasting 100% graduation rates. Even Gateway High School, located less than a mile away, has a 98.4% graduation rate. Chronic absenteeism is also extremely high at 68.8%, more than double the district average of 34.9%. While the school spends $22,569 per student—the highest in the area—this investment has not translated into better outcomes, especially when compared to Neocity Academy, which spends $13,556 per student and achieves top results.

Despite these challenges, there was a brief improvement in 2024-2025 when 10th-grade English Language Arts proficiency jumped from 17% to 49%, though it dropped back to 24% the following year. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 suggests smaller class sizes, but this hasn't led to academic success. Located near high-performing schools like Gateway High School and Neocity Academy, Zenith Accelerated Academy appears to serve a highly at-risk population, but the current model is not working effectively.

What people are saying

Tuesday, October 2, 2018

This school has been a Godsend for our daughter. The staff and teachers are amazing. We've had experience with 8 other schools throughout our children's lives and Zenith stands out as a close contender for #1. It's rare to find such a truly dedicated and caring group of staff and teachers. They all truly share the common goal of helping the students to graduate on time and prepare them for furthering their education after high school. Several of the staff members have gone ABOVE and BEYOND what I would ever expect to keep my daughter headed for success. I was a little apprehensive before enrolling my daughter due to my fears (mostly worried she wouldn't be in a good environment around good people), but my fears were completely diminished after the first week. I can't say enough about how much we are satisfied with Zenith. Close Quote
