Summary

Lake Mary High School is a large public high school in Lake Mary, FL, serving 2,714 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Seminole County School District. The school has a moderate level of economic diversity, with about 41% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and it consistently earns 3-star or 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating a reliable, above-average educational experience.

One of the most notable challenges at Lake Mary is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 36.6%—significantly higher than nearby schools like Oviedo High School (28.6%) and Lake Brantley High School (30.1%). Despite this, the school boasts a strong graduation rate of 95.9%, suggesting effective support systems like credit recovery programs help students finish. Academically, Lake Mary excels in humanities and sciences, with 77% proficiency in Biology and 80% in US History, both above state averages. However, it struggles in foundational math: only 37% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, far below the district average of 66% and a key area for improvement compared to peers like Seminole High School (39%).

When compared to the nearby magnet school Crooms Academy of Information Technology, which outperforms in every metric, Lake Mary serves a broader, more diverse student body. Its spending of $9,078 per student is below the district average, yet it achieves mixed results—strong in some subjects but held back by absenteeism and math gaps. For parents, Lake Mary offers a solid, middle-of-the-pack option with clear strengths in graduation rates and humanities, but addressing chronic absenteeism and Algebra 1 proficiency could unlock even better outcomes.

I had to pull my child out of Lake Mary High School.
I had total custody and the school was relishing information out on my son without my approval . Information was going out to people that the school had no idea who they were dealing with. Very dangerous ! Be Careful Close Quote
