Despite its diverse student population, Oneco Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly below the district and state averages, often by 20-30 percentage points. Oneco Elementary also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.2% to 46.5% over the past 5 years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (78.69%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Oneco Elementary's spending per student, around $12,500, is lower than the district average, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles.
In comparison, nearby schools like Florine J. Abel Elementary and William Monroe Rowlett Academy have proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher than Oneco Elementary in ELA and Math. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 37.3%. While Oneco Elementary has a more racially diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, this diversity could present both challenges and opportunities for the school. Addressing the school's significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, high poverty levels, and relatively low per-student spending, will be crucial for improving outcomes for the students at Oneco Elementary.
