Best Public Schools in Zip Code 33897


Summary:

The 33897 zip code area is home to 4 elementary schools, including 3 public schools and 1 public charter school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, they face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates and a large percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among the schools, Four Corners Charter School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 1025 out of 2256 Florida elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the Osceola district and Polk district averages in several test score categories, including 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math. In contrast, Bella Citta and Bridgeprep Academy Of Polk have lower proficiency rates, particularly in Math.

The high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.5% to 49.6%, are a significant concern across all schools in the area. Additionally, the schools serve a large population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 34.68% to 66.14%. These factors likely contribute to the overall academic challenges faced by the schools. While the data reveals disparities in performance, it also suggests that identifying and replicating the practices of the higher-performing schools, such as Four Corners Charter School, could help improve educational outcomes for students in the 33897 zip code area.
