Summary:
The city of Branford, Florida is home to two schools: Branford High School and Branford Elementary School, both part of the Suwannee school district. Based on the available data, Branford High School stands out as the higher-performing school, with a strong 4-star rating, high graduation rates, and better test scores compared to the elementary school.
Branford High School has a statewide ranking of 243 out of 807 Florida high schools and a 92.4% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. The school's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages across a variety of subjects. In contrast, Branford Elementary has a lower statewide ranking and slightly higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While both schools have a majority white student population, Branford High School has a slightly higher percentage of white students. The higher spending per student at the high school ($9,639 vs. $9,102 at the elementary school) may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Branford High School is providing a quality education to its students, but the district as a whole faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism that may require additional attention and resources to address.
