Best Public Schools in Hawthorne, FL


Summary:

The city of Hawthorne, Florida is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Ochwilla Elementary School and Chester Shell Elementary School) and 1 middle/high school (Hawthorne Middle/High School). While the middle/high school has a relatively high graduation rate, all three schools are struggling academically, with proficiency rates well below the Alachua district and Putnam district averages.

The data reveals that Hawthorne Middle/High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 58.9%, which may be contributing to its low academic performance. Ochwilla Elementary School and Chester Shell Elementary School also have concerning chronic absenteeism rates of 54.0% and 53.3%, respectively. This is a significant issue that the schools need to address.

Socioeconomic challenges are also a concern, with all three schools serving a population with high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 63.9% to 81.97%. Additionally, the resource allocation across the schools appears uneven, with the elementary schools spending more per student and having lower student-teacher ratios compared to the middle/high school. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted support to address the unique needs of each school may be crucial in improving student outcomes in Hawthorne.
