Despite the high spending of $41,158 per student, Deaf High School (FSDB) consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 8% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1 and Geometry, compared to the state averages of 55% and 53%, respectively. The school also struggles in other subject areas, such as Biology 1 (14% proficient) and US History (13% proficient), compared to the state averages of 67% and 68%. While the school's graduation rates have varied from 81.5% to 94.7%, they are still lower than the nearby St. Augustine High School, which had an 84.8% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023.

Deaf High School (FSDB) also faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 8.0% in 2019-2020 to 31.8% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the 36.9% rate at St. Augustine High School. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.53% to 87.43%, significantly higher than the 37.61% rate at St. Augustine High School. These challenges suggest that the Deaf/Blind District as a whole faces significant obstacles in providing quality education to its students.

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.
