Summary:
The Indian River school district in Florida is home to 17 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the performance and characteristics of these schools, highlighting both the high-achieving standouts as well as the schools facing significant challenges.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic achievement across the district. Imagine At South Vero, Liberty Magnet School, Rosewood Magnet School, and Osceola Magnet School stand out as high-performing institutions, ranking among the top 20% of Florida elementary schools and boasting exceptional test scores. In contrast, schools like Dodgertown Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points below the district and state averages.
The data also suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Fellsmere Elementary and Dodgertown Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores and rankings. Conversely, the top-performing schools like Imagine At South Vero and Rosewood Magnet serve student populations with significantly lower rates of economic disadvantage. Addressing these equity gaps will be crucial for improving outcomes across the Indian River district.
