Union

Summary:

The Union district of Florida is home to three schools: Lake Butler Elementary School, Lake Butler Middle School, and Union County High School. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.

Lake Butler Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 36% of Florida elementary schools. It outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Lake Butler Middle School also excels, ranking in the top 48% of Florida middle schools and performing exceptionally well in Algebra 1 and Civics exams. Meanwhile, Union County High School maintains a respectable 85.9% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the district and state in Biology 1 and US History exams.

However, the schools in the Union district face some challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and a lack of demographic diversity, with predominantly white student populations. The district may benefit from addressing these areas to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students and further enhance the overall academic performance of its schools.
