Summary:
The 32764 zip code area has only one public elementary school, Osteen Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic student representation at 34.33%, as well as smaller but notable African American and Asian student groups.
Osteen Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing better than the Volusia district and state averages, while others lag behind. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 53% is slightly below the district and state, and its 3rd-5th grade math proficiency ranges from 49% to 53%, generally lower than the district and state. However, the school's 3rd-5th grade ELA proficiency rates, ranging from 48% to 59%, are more in line with the surrounding area.
One notable challenge for Osteen Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. This may be contributing to the school's academic performance issues and suggests the need for targeted interventions to address the root causes of absenteeism. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student of $10,259 is in line with the district and state, indicating that funding may not be the primary driver of the school's performance.
