The federal NCES directory counted 1,736 students in the 2024-25 school year, with 82 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers. That is about 21 students per teacher. The year before, the count was 1,710.

The state’s 2026 grades file lists 55.2% of the school’s students as economically disadvantaged.

State report card

Florida grades every public school A to F on the share of possible points it earns on the measures in the state’s 2026 school grades file: test scores, learning gains and, for high schools, graduation and college and career acceleration. The file sets an A for high schools at 65% of points or more.

School year Grade
2025-26 A (69% of possible points)
2024-25 B
2023-24 B

From the same file, the share of students scoring on grade level on the state tests in 2025-26:

  • English language arts: 71%
  • Math: 64%
  • Science: 78%
  • Social studies: 77%

The file gives a graduation rate of 100% for 2024-25, and 70% on college and career acceleration (students earning credit through programs such as AP, IB, AICE, dual enrollment or industry certifications).

The full report card is on the state’s Florida school report cards site. It is an interactive dashboard; the figures above come from the downloadable file.

The district’s Planning for Progress recommendations, up for a School Board vote at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, leave this zone as it is but would change several schools inside it for 2027-28:

  • John M. Sexton Elementary would close, with its zone split between Lynch and Woodlawn. The board also looked at closing Woodlawn instead at its Oct. 6 workshop.
  • New Heights and Westgate would take in parts of the Blanton Elementary zone, which would close.
  • Students northwest of Tyrone Boulevard would move from the Azalea Middle zone to Tyrone Middle.
