Summary:

Ocoee High is a public high school in Ocoee, Florida, serving 2,536 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ocoee High stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American (49.88%) and Hispanic (28.31%) students compared to nearby schools like Wekiva High and West Orange High. The school also boasts consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.9% to 99.6% over the past five years, outperforming the nearby schools. However, Ocoee High has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.3% to 45.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Academically, Ocoee High's test scores, particularly in Algebra 1, Geometry, and English Language Arts, tend to lag behind the district and state averages, with lower percentages of students proficient or better. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (50.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the nearby schools. Despite these challenges, the presence of nearby charter schools like Legacy High Charter and Innovation Montessori High School suggests that Ocoee High may have the potential to improve its academic performance and student outcomes with the right strategies and resources.

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.
