Neocity Academy

Summary:

Neocity Academy is a high-performing public high school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 421 students in grades 9-12. Located within the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in the state, Neocity Academy consistently outshines its peers in academic achievement.

Neocity Academy's exceptional performance is evident across several key metrics. In the 2023-2024 school year, 98% of its students were proficient or better in Geometry EOC and English Language Arts FAST assessments, far surpassing the district and state averages of 47% and 53%, respectively. The school also maintains a remarkable 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Neocity Academy has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 2.5% to 11.6% over the past five years, compared to much higher rates at nearby schools like Victory Charter School (60%) and Zenith Accelerated Academy (70.4%).

While Neocity Academy's academic performance is exceptional, the school's racial diversity is more balanced compared to some of the nearby schools, with a mix of White (38.72%), Hispanic (43.23%), and Asian (7.6%) students. This diversity, combined with the school's higher spending per student ($11,922 in 2022-2023), may contribute to its success. However, the district and the broader community should continue to address any potential equity concerns and ensure that all students have access to quality educational opportunities, as evidenced by the strong performance of other schools in the area, such as Osceola County School For The Arts and Professional & Technical High School.

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.
