Best Public Schools in Lecanto, FL


Summary:

The city of Lecanto, Florida is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The schools in this Citrus district serve a predominantly white student population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch indicating significant economic challenges for many families.

Lecanto Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Florida middle schools with strong test scores across subjects. In contrast, the alternative schools, such as Srmi @ Renaissance Center, struggle significantly, with single-digit proficiency rates, 0% graduation rates, and very high chronic absenteeism. This performance gap suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to better serve the high-needs populations at these alternative schools.

While Lecanto High School maintains a 3-star rating and decent test scores, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21% at Pace Center For Girls to nearly 80% at Srmi @ Renaissance Center. Addressing these attendance issues, as well as the needs of economically disadvantaged students, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes across the Lecanto school system.
