Summary:
Zip code 33712 is home to a single high school, Pinellas Mycroschool Of Integrated Academics And Technologi, a small, specialized school serving grades 8 through 12 with 149 students in the Pinellas County district.
This school stands out for its severe challenges, which are far worse than district and state averages. The most critical issue is a catastrophic chronic absenteeism rate of 95.1%, meaning nearly every student misses significant school time. This directly drives the school's extremely low academic performance: proficiency rates are 0% in Algebra 1, Biology 1, and 10th Grade ELA, with the highest score being just 13% in US History. The graduation rate is only 48.4%, less than half the district's 93.4% and state's 92.2%. The school's state ranking has fallen to the 2nd percentile, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in Florida.
Despite spending $10,872 per student, the investment is not translating into academic success, likely because funds are directed toward intensive support services for a high-poverty population (70.47% free/reduced lunch). While the "microschool" model aims to provide personalized learning for at-risk students, the data shows the challenges of extreme poverty and disengagement are overwhelming the school's efforts. This school is an extreme outlier within the high-performing Pinellas County district, highlighting a unique concentration of challenges that prevent it from achieving the district's overall success.
