Summary

Deaf High School (FSDB) is a public high school located in St. Augustine, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 171 students. The school is part of the Deaf/Blind District, which is ranked 67th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's specialized focus on serving deaf students, Deaf High School (FSDB) consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 8-32% of students proficient or better in various subject areas, compared to the state averages of 55-71%. The school's four-year graduation rates, ranging from 82.4% to 90.6%, are also slightly below the state average. Additionally, Deaf High School (FSDB) has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.0% to 36.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a student population with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby public high schools in the St. Johns district, such as Pedro Menendez High School, St. Augustine High School, and Tocoi Creek High School, Deaf High School (FSDB) performs significantly worse academically. These nearby schools have much higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. Despite the high per-student spending at Deaf High School (FSDB), ranging from $37,169 to $45,310 in recent years, the school has not been able to translate this into better academic outcomes, suggesting potential inefficiencies or challenges in resource allocation and utilization.
