Seaside Neighborhood School

Summary:

Seaside Neighborhood School is a high-performing public charter school located in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, serving grades 5-12 with a student population of 403. The school has consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several consecutive years.

Seaside Neighborhood School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the Walton District and the state of Florida in various standardized tests. For example, the school had 98% proficiency in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Civics EOC exams, compared to 74%, 75%, and 76% for the Walton District, respectively. Seaside Neighborhood School also maintains a 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state and district averages, and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. The school's higher spending per student ($11,672 in 2022-2023) compared to the state and district averages may contribute to its high academic performance, and its low student-teacher ratio provides students with more individualized attention and support.

Seaside Neighborhood School's consistent high performance and exceptional academic outcomes set it apart from nearby schools like Freeport Senior High School and South Walton High School, which significantly underperform in comparison. This suggests that Seaside Neighborhood School is providing a superior educational experience for its students, making it a standout choice for families in the Santa Rosa Beach area.

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.
