Best Public Schools in Bartow, FL

The data reveals stark contrasts in school performance within the Bartow area, with some schools like Bartow Elementary Academy and Union Academy excelling, while others like Compass Middle Charter School and Gause Academy Of Leadership are struggling significantly.

The data suggests a correlation between schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and lower academic performance. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Compass Middle Charter School and Gause Academy Of Leadership, tend to have the poorest test scores and graduation rates. Additionally, the wide range of chronic absenteeism rates, from 0% to 76.3%, highlights the critical role that student attendance plays in academic success, with high-absenteeism schools like Gause Academy Of Leadership performing poorly.

The significant variation in per-student spending, from $7,458 at Davenport High School to $52,363 at Jean O'Dell Learning Center, suggests that funding levels may be a contributing factor to the performance differences observed across the Polk County schools in Bartow.
