St. Johns Technical High School

Summary:

St. Johns Technical High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in St. Augustine, Florida, with a student population of 218. The school is part of the St. Johns school district, which is ranked 4th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, St. Johns Technical High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Florida high schools, currently at 689 out of 807 schools. The school has struggled with low academic performance, with test scores significantly lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching over 50% in the 2022-2023 school year, much higher than the state and district averages. Over 70% of the students at St. Johns Technical High School qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, reaching $22,919 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is much higher than the state and district averages. This suggests that funding alone may not be the sole factor driving academic success, and other factors, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, may play a crucial role. Nearby schools, such as Tocoi Creek High School, Beachside High School, and St. Augustine High School, have significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, highlighting the stark contrast in educational outcomes between St. Johns Technical High School and its peers.

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.
