Best Public Schools in Ponce De Leon, FL


Summary:

The city of Ponce De Leon, Florida is home to two public schools: Ponce De Leon Elementary School and Ponce De Leon High School. Both schools serve the Ponce De Leon community and are part of the Holmes school district. However, the data indicates that these schools are struggling academically and facing a range of challenges related to student demographics, funding, and resource allocation.

Academically, both Ponce De Leon Elementary and High School have proficiency rates on state assessments that are generally lower than the Holmes district and Florida state averages across subjects and grade levels. The high school's four-year graduation rate of 84.4% is also below the state average. This declining performance is reflected in the schools' decreasing statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings over the past few years.

Demographic data shows that the student populations at both schools are overwhelmingly White, with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may be indicative of broader socioeconomic and demographic challenges in the Ponce De Leon community. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as high rates of chronic absenteeism, which could be contributing factors to the low academic performance. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the schools appear to be facing resource and funding constraints that may be impacting their ability to provide a high-quality education.
