Steinbrenner High School

Q: Is Steinbrenner High School a good school?

Steinbrenner High School ranks 108 th of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Steinbrenner High School is a public high school serving 2,475 students in grades 9-12 in Lutz, Florida, which is part of the Hillsborough County School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top high schools in Florida, with strong academic metrics, high graduation rates, and a diverse student population.

Steinbrenner High School's academic performance is exceptional, with test scores significantly higher than the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages across various subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 87% of Steinbrenner students were proficient or better in EOC/Biology 1, compared to 64% for the county and 67% for the state. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 96.3% to 98.5% over the past five years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Steinbrenner's diverse student population, with 62.18% White, 22.63% Hispanic, and 7.11% Asian students, is another strength of the school.

While Steinbrenner High School outperforms many nearby schools, such as Bowers-Whitley Career Center, which has lower test scores and graduation rates, some other local schools, like Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School and Kirkland Ranch Academy Of Innovation, also demonstrate strong academic performance. The school's per-student spending is comparable to or slightly higher than nearby schools, indicating adequate resources to support its educational programs. However, the recent increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.4% in 2019-2020 to 29.0% in 2020-2021, is a concerning trend that the school and district should address.

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.
