About
Standley Lake High School (SLHS) serves a diverse population of more than 1,300 students in grades 9 through 12 with academically challenging curricula designed to prepare students for both career and college opportunities after high school.
“Gator Strong” is the foundation of our school culture and is evident in all our work as a school community.
The SLHS Gator community is driven through shared leadership. Standley Lake is committed to being a comprehensive, community high school that offers students the opportunity to grow through not only core academics but also experiences in athletics, fine and performing arts, leadership and Career and Technical Education.
Standley Lake High School is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering both the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the IB Diploma Programme. While the Diploma Programme serves a cohort of 11th- and 12th-graders, the Middle Years Programme serves all students, including all interests and academic abilities.
In addition, SLHS offers 14 AP courses and a robust center program for special education students and second language learners with a caring and experienced staff.
Student athletics and activity involvement is highly encouraged through 21 varsity-level sports programs and diverse co-curricular clubs and activities. Many Gator programs compete at the national level, including the national award-winning newspaper The Lake, as well as poms, speech and debate and our Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter. The music program, including vocal and instrumental, continues to thrive and has seen enormous growth over the past three years.
Standley Lake High School is proud to serve a diverse community, with 34% minority students and 31% qualifying for the free and reduced-priced lunch program.
