Summary

Frostproof Middle/Senior High in Frostproof, FL, serves 998 students in grades 6-12 and is part of the Polk district, where nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Civics, with 97% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the state average of 77% and outperforming nearby Fort Meade Middle/Senior High School (90%). However, this bright spot contrasts with struggles in other areas, such as a 43% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average of 31.4% and contributes to below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Science.

Math performance tells a mixed story: 6th-grade math proficiency is low at 38%, but 7th and 8th graders achieve 63% and 56% proficiency, respectively, outperforming district and state averages. This suggests a potential strength in upper middle school math instruction, though it may also reflect differences in student cohorts. The school’s graduation rate is a positive note, reaching 90.8% in 2024-2025, yet only 43% of 10th graders are proficient in ELA, indicating many students graduate without strong academic skills. Compared to Fort Meade Middle/Senior High School, which has a 99% graduation rate and higher proficiency in Algebra 1 (64% vs. 47%) and Biology (69% vs. 59%), Frostproof faces challenges that are not inevitable, as a peer school with similar demographics achieves better outcomes.

Spending per student at Frostproof is $13,196, more than double that of Lake Wales Senior High School ($6,653), yet Lake Wales outperforms in many metrics, suggesting funding alone isn’t the issue. The school’s Civics success is a standout anomaly that could offer lessons for improvement in other subjects. Additionally, a concerning "middle school dip" in ELA sees proficiency drop from 47% in 6th grade to 37% in 8th grade, before recovering to 51% in 9th grade, highlighting a need for targeted support during this transition. Overall, Frostproof shows potential in specific areas but requires focused efforts to address absenteeism and academic gaps.
