Summary

Northeast High School in St. Petersburg, FL, is a large comprehensive public high school serving 1,684 students in grades 9-12 within the Pinellas County School District, a top-rated district in Florida.

Northeast High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 99.5%, which is far above the state average and nearly identical to the nearby St. Petersburg High School (99.7%). This rate dramatically outperforms other area schools like Pinellas Park High School (94.0%) and Gibbs High School (90.1%). The school also excels in Biology and US History, with proficiency rates equal to or above district and state averages, and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (30.6%) than most nearby comprehensive high schools, many of which exceed 40%. However, the school presents a "graduation vs. proficiency paradox": while it is highly effective at guiding students to a diploma, proficiency in core subjects like Algebra 1 (45%) and English Language Arts (55%) trails state averages. Notably, Algebra 1 scores have shown a remarkable upward trend, jumping from 21% to 45% over two years, suggesting targeted interventions are working.

Northeast operates with leaner resources than some peers, with per-student spending ($9,527) below schools like Boca Ciega High School ($12,062) and a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.5. Located in a diverse educational landscape, Northeast sits between high-performing schools like St. Petersburg Collegiate High School and lower-performing ones like Lealman Innovation Academy, making it a solid middle-ground option for families prioritizing a strong graduation rate and improving academic performance.
