Summary:
In zip code 32460, there is one high school, Sneads High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Jackson County school district, which is ranked 48th out of 70 districts in Florida.
Sneads High School has a total enrollment of 340 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17:1. The school shows a stark contrast in academic performance. It excels in Biology 1 and US History, with 76% proficiency in both subjects for the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming state averages. However, math scores are critically low, with only 23% proficiency in both Algebra 1 and Geometry, trailing the state by 40 and 33 percentage points respectively. The school's state ranking has been volatile, peaking at 249th out of 844 (70th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024-2025, but dropping to 417th out of 838 (50th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025-2026. The graduation rate is 86.2%, below the district and state averages.
The most critical concern is a chronic absenteeism rate of 48.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average of 31.4%. This absenteeism crisis is likely the primary driver of the school's declining ranking and poor math performance, as students miss foundational instruction. The school spends $11,995 per student, and 40.59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has clear strengths in science and history, addressing the absenteeism issue is essential for improving math scores, graduation rates, and overall stability.
