Summary:
The 33993 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. These schools serve a diverse student population and face a range of challenges, but some standout performers emerge from the data.
Mariner High School stands out for its strong 92.7% four-year graduation rate, while Mariner Middle School excels in Algebra 1 and Civics, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the Lee County and Florida averages. In contrast, Hector A. Cafferata Junior Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (67.22%) and relatively high free/reduced lunch rate (61.83%), yet its 5th-grade science proficiency matches the Lee County average and exceeds the state average.
The schools in this area face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.6% to 45.4%, and significant disparities in spending per student, from $31,470 at Hector A. Cafferata Junior Elementary to just $8,653 at Mariner High School. These factors likely contribute to the generally lower performance on standardized tests compared to county and state averages, though Mariner Middle School's exceptional results in Algebra 1 and Civics suggest that effective strategies can be implemented to support student achievement.
