The 32066 zip code area is home to two schools - Lafayette High School and Lafayette Elementary School, both part of the Lafayette district. Lafayette High School stands out with consistently high academic performance, ranking in the top 20-25% of Florida high schools and boasting an impressive 96.7% graduation rate. In contrast, while Lafayette Elementary also performs well, it faces some challenges with a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6% and a larger percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 62.72%.
Academically, Lafayette High School excels, with 64-84% proficiency rates in End-of-Course exams and 53-77% proficiency in FAST assessments, outperforming the state average across most test scores. Lafayette Elementary also shows solid academic performance, ranking in the top 30% of Florida elementary schools and boasting impressive proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade FAST assessments, exceeding state averages in many areas, including a 66% 5th grade science proficiency rate, well above the state average of 53%.
Both schools have a majority white student population, with Hispanic students making up the next largest group. The racial demographics of the schools could be an area to explore further, to ensure equitable access and support for all students. Additionally, the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, $11,400 for the high school and $11,878 for the elementary school, suggests a focus on providing adequate resources, while the lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school (13.2:1) compared to the high school (19:1) may indicate a greater emphasis on individualized attention in the earlier grades.
