Summary:
In zip code 33703, there is one high school, Northeast High School, serving grades 9-12 in St. Petersburg, Florida, as part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 15th out of 70 districts in the state.
Northeast High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 99.5%, far exceeding both the district (93.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. The school has shown a positive trend in its state ranking, improving from the 46th percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 51st percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. With 1,684 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20.5:1, the school spends $9,527 per student. However, a notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6%, which matches the district average and affects nearly one-third of students.
Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. It excels in Biology 1 (74% proficiency) and US History (77% proficiency), both at or above state averages. In contrast, math proficiency is a significant weakness, with only 45% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 44% in Geometry, well below state averages of 63% and 56%, respectively. A bright spot is the dramatic 16-percentage-point improvement in Algebra 1 proficiency from the previous year, suggesting recent instructional changes are having a positive impact. The high graduation rate alongside low math scores indicates that while students meet graduation requirements, many may not be fully prepared for college-level math, making this a key area for parents to consider.
