Bayside High School

Summary:

Bayside High School is a public high school in Clearwater, Florida, serving 201 students in grades 9-12. While part of the Pinellas District, which is ranked 23 out of 68 districts in the state, Bayside High School consistently underperforms, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Florida high schools over the past decade.

Key challenges facing Bayside High School include low academic performance, with students scoring significantly below state and district averages in all tested subjects, and declining graduation rates, dropping from 65.1% in 2020-2021 to 62.7% in 2022-2023. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 79.2% to 91.7% over the past five years, much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Bayside High School has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 68.02% to 75.12% over the past three years.

In comparison, nearby high schools like Northeast High School, Clearwater High School, and Osceola Fundamental High all have much higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage at Bayside High School may be crucial for improving student outcomes and the overall performance of the 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.
