Fivay High School

Summary:

Fivay High School is a public high school located in Hudson, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,610. The school is part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 42 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Pasco District, Fivay High School consistently underperforms compared to nearby schools. The school has ranked in the bottom half of Florida high schools, with a ranking between 576-607 out of 746-807 schools over the past 8 years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor academic performance. Fivay High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from a high of 95.9% in 2020-2021 to a low of 79.3% in 2021-2022, well below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 32.9% in 2019-2020 to 54.5% in 2022-2023, more than double the state and district averages.

Fivay High School's academic struggles are further highlighted by its underperforming test scores, which are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1, US History, and English Language Arts. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 71.16% to 77.76% over the past three years, which may contribute to the academic challenges. In comparison, nearby schools like James W. Mitchell High School, Wendell Krinn Technical High School, and River Ridge High School all have significantly higher rankings, graduation rates, and test scores than Fivay High School.

great sports program! The coach makes sure the students have enough time to exercise and study! Study hall is provided for all children but i love the idea that there is "no excuse" on doing bad in there grades! If they have anything less than a 2.0 "NO SPORTS" thats awsome! Most schools will find a way for a child to play or not give study hall during "sports"time! Close Quote

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.
