Summary

Deaf High School (Fsdb) in St. Augustine, FL, is a specialized public high school serving 179 students in grades 9-12 who are deaf or hard of hearing, and it is part of the unique statewide Deaf/Blind district.

This school stands out for its intensive, individualized approach. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8:1 and per-pupil spending of nearly $48,000—about six times more than nearby schools like Allen D Nease Senior High School—the school invests heavily in specialized staff and resources. While state test scores are lower than those at surrounding schools in the St. Johns district, the school achieves a remarkable graduation rate of 97.3%, exceeding both the district and state averages. This suggests a strong focus on supporting students through to graduation, even if standard academic benchmarks are not met. Interestingly, its sister school on the same campus, Blind High School (Fsdb), which serves blind and visually impaired students, tends to have higher proficiency rates on state assessments, highlighting the unique educational challenges for deaf learners.

For parents, the key takeaway is that Deaf High School provides a highly supportive, resource-rich environment for a vulnerable population. While academic test scores are low compared to mainstream schools like St. Augustine High School, the school excels at keeping students engaged and on track to earn a diploma. Chronic absenteeism is also lower than at many nearby schools, indicating consistent student attendance. This school is not a typical high school; it is a specialized ecosystem designed to provide equity and access, ensuring that deaf students can achieve a high school education that might be challenging in a traditional setting.
