Triad

Summary:

Triad is a public high school located in Sarasota, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 116 students. The school is part of the Sarasota School District, which is ranked 8th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Triad faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and extremely low graduation rates compared to the surrounding schools. The school has a higher percentage of African American (45.69%) and Hispanic (24.14%) students than the nearby schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. Triad also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.55% to 87.93%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors suggest that Triad may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population.

When comparing Triad to nearby schools, the disparities in educational outcomes become even more apparent. Booker High School, another public high school in the Sarasota district, performs significantly better than Triad across various metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, despite serving a student population with a similar racial makeup. Similarly, Sarasota Military Academy, a public charter high school, and Suncoast Polytechnical High School, a public high school in the Sarasota district, outperform Triad by a wide margin across all metrics, highlighting the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to Triad's underperformance.

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.
