Hamilton

The Hamilton school district in Florida consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of performance across the district, with some standout schools providing a unique educational experience for students.

The Oak Grove Academy and Hamilton Virtual Franchise alternative schools stand out with their impressive 0% chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower than the other schools in the district. The Oak Grove Academy also has a much lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 7.89%, compared to over 75% at the other schools. In contrast, Hamilton County High School and Hamilton County Elementary School have much lower academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in subjects like Algebra 1.

The Hamilton school district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with low graduation rates and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, the alternative schools are providing a different educational experience that seems to be more engaging for their students. This suggests the district could benefit from further investigation into the practices and approaches used at these alternative schools to potentially improve outcomes across the traditional public schools.
