Summary:
The city of Moore Haven, Florida is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 traditional public school, 1 middle/high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. While the schools in this area demonstrate some strengths, such as strong graduation rates and low chronic absenteeism at the virtual school, they also face challenges in academic performance compared to district and state averages.
Moore Haven Elementary School stands out for its diverse student population, with the highest percentage of Hispanic students at 48.8%. The school also performs relatively well in 5th grade science, with 58% proficiency. However, its overall English Language Arts and Math scores lag behind the Glades district and state averages. In contrast, Glades Virtual Franchise has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 0% and a significantly lower per-student spending of $3,591, but a higher percentage of White students compared to the other schools.
Moore Haven Middle High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate of 86.0%, but both it and Moore Haven Elementary School struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, over 58%. Across the board, the schools in Moore Haven tend to underperform compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Addressing these challenges, while leveraging the strengths of the diverse student population and the potential of virtual education, could be key focus areas for the district to improve academic outcomes for students in Moore Haven.
