High Road

Summary:

High Road is an alternative public school located in Milton, Florida, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Santa Rosa school district, which is ranked 15th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

High Road appears to be a struggling school with significant challenges in terms of student performance, attendance, and graduation rates. The school has a much higher percentage of White students (73.83%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. High Road's 4-year graduation rate is only 8.3%, which is much lower than the nearby Central School (85.2%) and Escambia Westgate Center (93.8%). Additionally, High Road has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 61.1%, more than double the rate of Central School (28.8%) and significantly higher than the state average.

High Road's test scores are consistently and significantly lower than the Santa Rosa district and the state of Florida across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, High Road scored 36% proficient compared to 66% in the Santa Rosa district and 55% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students (76.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, combined with the school's low per-student spending of $123, suggest that High Road may be struggling to effectively address the unique needs and challenges of its student population.

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.
