Summary:
The 33703 zip code area in Florida is home to two schools - Northeast High School and Meadowlawn Middle School, both part of the Pinellas school district. While Northeast High School has a larger enrollment of 1,762 students, Meadowlawn Middle School serves a more economically disadvantaged population with a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 65.04% compared to 46.54% at Northeast High.
Academically, both schools struggle with below-average test scores compared to district and state standards, though Northeast High School performs slightly better with some exceptions like Biology 1 and US History. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue at 31.4% for both schools, indicating a need to address student engagement. Interestingly, Meadowlawn Middle School spends more per student ($11,955) than Northeast High School ($8,717), but this higher investment does not translate to better outcomes.
In terms of school rankings, Northeast High School is in the middle of Florida high schools, while Meadowlawn Middle School ranks in the bottom half of the state's middle schools. The student-teacher ratio is also higher at Northeast High (20.9) compared to Meadowlawn Middle (17.8), which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance differences between the two schools. Overall, the data highlights the challenges faced by these schools and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes in the 33703 zip code area.
