Chambers High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Florida, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating very low academic performance. The school has had extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 6.7% to 30.8% over the past five years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Chambers High School has had alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 94.7% to 98.4% over the past five years, much higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

Chambers High School's performance is significantly lower than the nearby high schools, including Homestead Senior High School, South Dade Senior High School, and Somerset Preparatory Academy High School Homestead, which have higher academic rankings, graduation rates, test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among Chambers High School's student population may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, presenting an opportunity for the school district and community to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
