Professional & Technical High School

Professional & Technical High School in Kissimmee, FL, is a small, high-performing magnet-style high school serving 544 students in grades 9-12 within the Osceola County School District, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 10% of Florida high schools.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results and perfect graduation rate. It has achieved a 100% graduation rate for four consecutive years, far exceeding the district average of 91.1%. Test scores are dominant across subjects: 96% of students are proficient in US History, 88% in Biology, and 94% in 10th-grade English Language Arts—all dramatically higher than nearby schools like Gateway High School, which sits just 0.66 miles away but sees only 61% proficiency in 10th-grade ELA. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 14.6%, less than half the district average of 34.9% and far below schools like Osceola High School (53.9%). Despite its name suggesting a vocational focus, the school performs on par with elite magnets like Neocity Academy and Osceola County School For The Arts, achieving these results with a per-student spending of $11,085—lower than Neocity's $13,556 and far less than the struggling Zenith Accelerated Academy, which spends $22,569 per student with poor outcomes.

One area to note is a dip in Geometry proficiency, where only 53% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, below the state average of 56%. However, the school's consistent excellence over the past decade—with state rankings between the 90th and 98th percentile—makes it a reliable choice for families seeking a top-tier education in Kissimmee. The stark contrast with nearby Gateway High School, which shares a similar demographic profile but achieves far lower results, highlights how the school's specialized curriculum and small size drive its success.
