Anclote Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the Pasco District and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 53% in the Pasco District and 55% statewide.

When comparing Anclote Elementary School to nearby schools in the Pasco District, it performs significantly worse on key metrics such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free and reduced lunch rates. For example, Plato Academy Trinity Charter School, located just 2.72 miles away, has much higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. Despite the increased spending per student at Anclote Elementary School, from $9,856 in 2019-2020 to $10,810 in 2022-2023, the school's performance has not improved, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resources to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

While some of the teacher’s seem to be professional and enjoy their profession, the administration leaves a lot to be desired. This school is poorly run from the top. The front desk is staffed with unprofessional and rude employees. I will be looking for an alternate school for my child. One year was more than enough time to realize my child deserves better.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
