Summary

Davenport High School in Davenport, FL, is a large public high school serving 2,731 students in grades 9-12 within the Polk district, where nearly half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school's most pressing challenge is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 55.6%, meaning more than half of students miss significant school days. This rate is the highest among nearby schools, including Poinciana High School (46.0%) and Ridge Community High School (40.9%). Academic proficiency is also a major concern, particularly in math: only 20% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, which is less than half the district average and far below the state average. This low performance has persisted for four years. However, there is a notable bright spot in US History, where 71% of students are proficient—a strong upward trend from 41% just a few years ago and competitive with nearby schools like Celebration High School (67%).

Despite these struggles, Davenport has a strong graduation rate of 91.5%, above the district average and close to the state average. This creates a paradox: how can a school with such high absenteeism and low test scores graduate so many students? It suggests a disconnect between internal graduation policies and state benchmarks for college readiness. For comparison, New Dimensions High School, a smaller school in the same region, achieves dramatically better results with 73% Algebra 1 proficiency and only 20.4% chronic absenteeism, showing that these challenges are not insurmountable. The school's high student-to-teacher ratio (25.7:1) and lower spending per student ($7,709) may contribute to these difficulties.
