Summary

The Collegiate School At Fsu Pc is a small, high-performing public high school in Panama City, FL, serving 178 students in grades 9-12 through a unique partnership with Florida State University Panama City.

This school is an academic powerhouse, ranking #17 out of 838 high schools in Florida (top 2%) and earning a 5-star rating for two consecutive years. Its test scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools: 95% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 (compared to 63% statewide), 97% in Geometry, and 92% in Biology. In 9th grade English Language Arts, 96% are proficient, while 10th grade ELA stands at 86%. These rates are 30-60 percentage points higher than most local schools like Rutherford High School and Bay High School. The school also has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.4%, less than half the state average of 31.4% and far below schools like Central High School (92.6%). Only 12.36% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a much lower percentage than nearby schools, which range from 23% to 80%.

The school operates within its own Fsu Bay district, ranked #1 out of 70 in Florida, a stark contrast to the Bay district (ranked #28). This unique governance model, combined with its small size and partnership with FSU, appears to be a key driver of its elite performance.
