St. Cloud High School

Q: Is St. Cloud High School a good school?

St. Cloud High School ranks 402 nd of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

St. Cloud High School is a public high school in Saint Cloud, Florida, serving 2,264 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While St. Cloud High School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (54.55%) and a lower percentage of White students (35.11%), it has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rates, dropping from 97.6% in 2019-2020 to 89.5% in 2022-2023. This is lower than the nearby Harmony High School (89.0%) and Tohopekaliga (87.0%). Additionally, St. Cloud High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.2% in 2019-2020 to 38.0% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the nearby schools like Harmony High School (31.7%) and Tohopekaliga (27.5%).

Academically, St. Cloud High School's test scores are generally lower than the Osceola district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (22%), Geometry (42%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (50%) are all below the district and state averages. These challenges suggest that St. Cloud High School may be struggling to effectively prepare its students for standardized assessments and that addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach.

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.
