Summary:
The city of Reddick, Florida has only one public school, Reddick-Collier Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Florida elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the Marion district and the state of Florida.
Reddick-Collier Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school spends more per student than the state average, but less than the Marion district average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%, which is much higher than the state average and likely contributing to the school's poor academic performance.
Overall, the data suggests that Reddick-Collier Elementary School is struggling to support student learning and achievement, and may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of its underperformance. Exploring the school's resource allocation, teacher quality, and community engagement could help identify opportunities for improvement and ensure that all students in Reddick have access to a high-quality education.
