Crescent City Junior-Senior High School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 54.9% to 68.2% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the 60.6% rate at Palatka Junior-Senior High School.

While Crescent City Junior-Senior High School has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 89.9% to 95.7% over the past 5 years, this is still lower than the 84.9% rate at the higher-performing Flagler-Palm Coast 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.
