Fitzgerald Senior High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, attendance, and socioeconomic factors. The school consistently underperforms the state averages on standardized tests like the M-Step and SAT, with only 8.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in M-Step Science, compared to the state average of 34.9%, and only 26.5% proficient or better in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to the state average of 55.4%. The school also has a relatively high dropout rate, ranging from 6.8% to 10.7%, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 54.2%, which are significantly higher than the state average.

The school's challenges extend to its virtual school, the Fitzgerald Virtual Academy, which has similar issues with graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting both academic and non-academic factors that impact student success.
