Summary:
The city of De Leon Springs, Florida has only one school, Louise S. McInnis Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (53.2%) and significant White (40.39%) and African American (4.19%) representation.
Academically, Louise S. McInnis Elementary School has a mixed performance compared to district and state averages. While it exceeds the state average in 5th grade science and 3rd grade math, it lags behind in several other grade-level ELA and math proficiency metrics. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.0% is a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 68.23%, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed.
Despite the school's funding levels being in line with the state average at $12,555 per student, the data suggests that Louise S. McInnis Elementary School faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly in ELA and math. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and supporting the needs of the economically disadvantaged students may be key focus areas for the school and the Volusia district.
