Summary:
The 34289 zip code area is home to two schools - Imagine School At North Port, an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12, and Woodland Middle School, the only traditional public middle school in the area serving grades 6-8. Both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with Imagine School At North Port boasting a high 98.3% four-year graduation rate and Woodland Middle School excelling on end-of-course exams, particularly in advanced math subjects.
Imagine School At North Port stands out for its diverse student population, with a majority white enrollment but a significant Hispanic representation at 17.16%. The school consistently performs above the Sarasota district and Florida state averages on a variety of assessments, including end-of-course exams, statewide science tests, and the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) for English Language Arts and Math. Woodland Middle School also excels on end-of-course exams, with an impressive 92% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 100% proficiency in Geometry, far surpassing the state and district averages.
While both schools have a significant percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the per-student spending is similar, suggesting that funding levels alone do not determine academic performance. However, Imagine School At North Port's higher chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3%, compared to Woodland Middle School's 10.7%, is an area that may warrant further investigation and potential intervention strategies to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
