Elevation High School

Summary:

Elevation High School is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Sanford, Florida, with a relatively small student population of 206. However, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 25% of Florida high schools and performing well below district and state averages on standardized tests.

Elevation High School has a very low four-year graduation rate of just 23.1%, which is significantly lower than the Seminole district and state averages. The school also had an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 82.6% in the 2021-2022 school year, though this dropped to 0.0% the following year, a concerning and unexpected change. Elevation High School's diverse student body, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, is not reflected in the nearby high-performing schools, such as Oviedo High School, Seminole High School, and Lake Howell High School, which have higher rankings, better test scores, and higher graduation rates.

The high poverty rates at Elevation High School, with 68.45% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's challenges. Targeted interventions and support services may be necessary to address the unique needs of the diverse student population and improve academic performance and student engagement at Elevation 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.
