Summary:
The city of Eustis, Florida, is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary to high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The data reveals a diverse educational landscape, with some schools, such as Eustis Middle School and Seminole Springs Elementary School, demonstrating exceptional academic performance, while others, like Alee Academy Charter School, struggle to meet educational standards.
Eustis Middle School stands out with its exceptional performance in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Algebra 1 and Geometry, where it significantly outperforms the Lake district and state averages. However, the school's overall performance in other subjects, such as English Language Arts and Science, is below the district and state averages, indicating room for improvement. Seminole Springs Elementary School also demonstrates strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science exceeding the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, and academic achievement. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Eustis Heights Elementary School and Eustis Elementary School, tend to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a widespread concern across the schools, with rates ranging from 32.3% to 95.1%, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by some institutions.
