Summary

Lyman High School in Longwood, FL, is a large public high school serving just over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-regarded Seminole County Public Schools district.

Lyman is a solid school with a clear strength in humanities, but it faces a significant challenge in math. While 73% of students are proficient in U.S. History and 63-65% in English Language Arts, only 25% are proficient in Algebra 1—a rate dramatically lower than the district average of 66%. This math struggle is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Lake Brantley High School, which has higher overall test scores and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (43.55% vs. 52.62% at Lyman). Interestingly, Lyman spends more per student ($9,926) than Lake Brantley ($8,088) but does not see a proportional return in academic performance, suggesting unique challenges or a need for more targeted resource allocation. On a positive note, Lyman excels at graduating its students, with a 95.2% graduation rate that outpaces both the district (94.4%) and state (92.2%). The school also shows encouraging improvement in Geometry and Biology, indicating that focused efforts can lead to gains.

For parents, this means Lyman offers a strong environment for students who thrive in reading, writing, and history, and it has a proven track record of helping students earn their diplomas. However, if your child needs extra support in math—especially Algebra 1—you will want to investigate the school's intervention programs closely. The school's higher chronic absenteeism rate (27.6%) is a concern, but it is actually lower than several peers like Winter Springs High School (43.2%) and Seminole High School (37.0%). Overall, Lyman is a middle-tier school with clear strengths and a critical area for improvement, making it a choice that depends heavily on your child's individual academic needs.
