Harmony High School

Summary:

Harmony High School is a public high school in Harmony, Florida, serving 2,822 students in grades 9-12. While the school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in Florida, Harmony High School stands out with its diverse student population and unique challenges.

Compared to nearby schools, Harmony High School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (50.64%) and a lower percentage of African American students (5.21%). However, the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rates, dropping from 97.4% in 2019-2020 to 89.0% in 2022-2023, though still higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Harmony High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.4% in 2019-2020 to 31.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools and the state average. The school's test scores, particularly in Algebra 1 and Geometry, are consistently lower than the district and state averages, with only 27% of Harmony High School students proficient or better in Algebra 1 in 2023-2024, compared to 47% in the Osceola district and 55% statewide.

While Harmony High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Osceola district averages, it stands out in comparison to some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Neocity Academy, which consistently outperforms Harmony High School across various metrics. Additionally, Harmony High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (41.53% in 2022-2023), which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $7,783 in 2022-2023, but this is still lower than the spending at some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Neocity Academy ($11,922 per student) and Professional & Technical High School ($9,775 per student).

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.
