Summary

Mater Brighton Lakes Academy Preparatory High is a small high school in Kissimmee, FL, serving 536 students in grades 9-12 within the Osceola school district, where nearly 78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing concern at Mater Brighton Lakes is an extreme chronic absenteeism rate of 58.2% for the 2023-2024 school year—nearly double the district average of 34.9% and far higher than nearby schools like Professional & Technical High School (14.6%) and Neocity Academy (14.4%). This rate has spiked dramatically from 16.5% just two years prior, signaling a recent crisis. The school also has a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 28.2:1, nearly double that of Neocity Academy (16.3:1), and spends only $8,588 per student—significantly less than Liberty High School ($11,739) and other local peers. Despite these challenges, the school has a notable bright spot in U.S. History, where proficiency once exceeded state averages, and its graduation rate has improved to 91.9%, though this improvement occurred alongside the absenteeism spike, suggesting credit recovery programs may play a role.

Interestingly, Liberty High School is just 2.64 miles away on the same road and serves a similar low-income population, yet it has a much lower absenteeism rate (26.8%) and a lower student-teacher ratio (20.6:1). This contrast suggests that Mater Brighton Lakes’ struggles are tied to school-specific factors rather than just the neighborhood. Meanwhile, top-performing magnets like Professional & Technical High School and Neocity Academy serve far fewer low-income students (36-37%) and achieve near-perfect outcomes, highlighting the systemic challenges Mater Brighton Lakes faces with high poverty and limited resources.
