Summary

Lake Region High School is a public high school located in Eagle Lake, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,554 students. The school is part of the Polk District, which is ranked 61 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lake Region High School consistently underperforms compared to the Polk District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of students were proficient or better in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 39% in Polk and 60% statewide. The school also has a lower four-year graduation rate, ranging from 80.4% to 89.7% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Lake Region High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 43.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

The nearby schools in the Polk District, such as Don E Woods Opportunity Center, Polk State Lakeland Gateway To College Collegiate High School, and Auburndale Senior High School, also exhibit similar academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and high free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. However, the data also includes two charter high schools, Polk State Lakeland Gateway To College Collegiate High School and Chain Of Lakes Collegiate High, which appear to outperform the traditional public high schools in the district in terms of academic achievement and graduation rates.
