Summary

Winter Springs High School is a large public high school in Winter Springs, FL, serving 1,940 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly-rated Seminole County School District, which ranks 8th out of 70 districts in Florida.

The school’s most notable strength is its consistently high graduation rate, which at 95.3% surpasses both the district (94.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this positive outcome is paired with a significant challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2% for the 2023-2024 school year. This rate is nearly double the district average of 25.3% and is dramatically higher than nearby schools like Crooms Academy Of Information Technology (26.2%) and Oviedo High School (29.5%). Academically, the school shows a clear split: it excels in US History (83% proficient) and Biology (81% proficient), outperforming district and state averages, but struggles critically in Algebra 1, where only 21% of students are proficient—a staggering 45 points below the district average. This is the lowest Algebra 1 proficiency rate among all comparable standard high schools in the area.

Despite spending $9,955 per student—higher than nearby Lake Howell High School ($8,509) and Lake Mary High School ($9,078)—the school’s performance has remained stable but not improving, hovering between the 58th and 71st percentile in state rankings over the past decade. The presence of the high-performing magnet school, Crooms Academy, just 6.9 miles away, may be drawing some of the area’s highest-performing students, potentially affecting Winter Springs’ averages. With nearly half its students (46.44%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school faces moderate economic challenges, but this does not fully explain its outlier absenteeism rate compared to schools with similar demographics. To improve, the school must first address its attendance crisis and then focus on targeted interventions to boost math proficiency.
