Summary:
Osteen, Florida is home to a single public elementary school, Osteen Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic student representation at 34.33% and a relatively low percentage of African American students at 4.69%. Academically, Osteen Elementary has maintained consistent performance, with proficiency rates generally at or above the Volusia district and Florida state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics over the past three school years.
Despite its academic strengths, Osteen Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 757 out of 2,240 Florida elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,149 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, even though it has maintained a 3-star rating. This suggests that while the school is performing well compared to its local peers, it is falling behind in comparison to other elementary schools across the state. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0% is significantly higher than the state's average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance and overall ranking.
In terms of resources, Osteen Elementary's per-student spending of $10,259 is in line with the state's average, indicating that funding may not be a significant factor in the school's academic performance. Overall, Osteen Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer academically, but its declining statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rate are areas that warrant further investigation and potential improvement efforts.
