The school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.1% to 96.2% over the past five years, which is higher than the district average. However, the school's dropout rate has been increasing, from 1.2% in 2020-2021 to 2.4% in 2023-2024, which is still lower than the district average. Notably, Disney II Magnet High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 19.0% in 2019-2020 to 57.5% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

However, Disney II Magnet High School outperforms lower-performing schools in the area, such as Kelvyn Park High School and the ASPIRA Charter schools. The varying performance of different student subgroups at Disney II Magnet High School suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of underperforming groups, such as African American and Special Education students, to ensure more equitable outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
