Viera High School is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating from the state for three consecutive years and ranking in the top 21% of all Florida high schools. The school boasts an exceptional 98.6% graduation rate, significantly outpacing both the district (92.7%) and state (92.2%) averages. Chronic absenteeism is low at 18.7%, well below the state average of 31.4%, and only 14.78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student body. The school spends $8,767 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 22:1.
Academically, Viera High School consistently outperforms district and state averages in nearly every subject, including Geometry (69% proficient), Biology 1 (81%), US History (85%), and both 9th and 10th Grade ELA (71% and 75% respectively). The one notable exception is Algebra 1, where only 40% of students were proficient in the most recent school year, a sharp drop from 56% the previous year and well below the district (61%) and state (63%) averages. While the school's state rank has declined slightly from 126th to 175th over three years, this appears to be due to other schools improving faster rather than a decline in quality at Viera, which remains a top-tier educational option in the area.
