Summary:
The 34268 zip code area has only one school, Nocatee Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 446 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with 57.17% Hispanic and 7.85% African American students, it faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates consistently below the district and state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels.
Nocatee Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is concerning, with 5th grade science proficiency at 45% (compared to 43% district and 53% state), and 3rd-5th grade ELA and math proficiency ranging from 34-51% (compared to 31-60% state). The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9%, which may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 83.63% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the academic challenges, Nocatee Elementary School is spending more per student ($14,673) than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is slightly higher than the recommended range. These factors suggest that additional resources and support may be needed to address the root causes of the school's performance issues and improve outcomes for its students.
