Summary:
The city of Vernon, Florida is home to three schools - Vernon Elementary School, Vernon High School, and Vernon Middle School - serving students from elementary through high school. While Washington district schools face challenges, the data reveals some standout performance at Vernon Middle School and Vernon High School.
Vernon Middle School stands out for its stronger-than-average performance on 8th grade Algebra 1 and math exams, outpacing the district and state. In contrast, Vernon Elementary School struggles with proficiency rates below the district and state in most subjects and grade levels. Vernon High School also lags behind in Algebra 1, Geometry, and 9th/10th grade ELA, though it has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.2%.
Across the district, high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism present significant challenges. Over 57% of students at these schools are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism ranges from 31.2% to 46.1%. Addressing these systemic issues should be a priority for the Washington district to improve educational outcomes for all students in Vernon, Florida.
