North Park High School

Summary:

North Park High School is a public charter high school located in Opa Locka, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 548 and is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, North Park High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Florida high schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 699-782 out of 716-807 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger since 2015-2016. The school has extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 17.9% to 36.8% over the past 5 years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, North Park High School has had chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 83.8% to 95.9% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing North Park High School to nearby schools, such as William H. Turner Technical Arts High School and Miami Lakes Educational Center, it is clear that North Park is an outlier in terms of performance. These nearby schools have significantly higher graduation rates (98%), lower chronic absenteeism (14.9-25.1%), and much higher test scores (44-88% proficiency) compared to North Park's 2-14% proficiency in ELA and math. The combination of these factors suggests that North Park High School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support are needed 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.
