Beacon High School

Summary:

Beacon High School is a public high school in Naples, Florida, serving 282 students in grades 9-12. While the Collier School District, which Beacon High School is a part of, is ranked 14th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating, Beacon High School's performance is significantly lower than nearby high schools.

Beacon High School has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 64.9% to 85.5% over the past few years, which is much higher than the 12.4% to 24.7% rates at nearby schools like Gulf Coast High School, Lely High School, Barron Collier High School, and Golden Gate High School. Beacon High School's test scores are also consistently lower than the Collier district and Florida state averages across all subject areas, and the school has had a 0% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, significantly lower than the 88.5% to 97.1% rates at nearby schools.

Interestingly, Beacon High School is located very close (0.02 miles) to Lorenzo Walker Technical High School, which has consistently high performance, with a 99.3% four-year graduation rate and test scores that far exceed the Collier district and state averages. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, as well as the extremely high chronic absenteeism, may be contributing factors to the poor academic performance and low graduation rates at Beacon High School, presenting a substantial opportunity for improvement through targeted interventions and support.

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.
