Summary:
The 34614 zip code area in Florida is home to two public schools - Winding Waters K-8, a K-8 school, and Weeki Wachee High School. While both schools serve a diverse student population, they have struggled with academic performance, attendance issues, and socioeconomic challenges that impact their overall quality ratings.
Winding Waters K-8 has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 1,295 out of 2,219 Florida elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,715 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger reflects its below-average proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the Hernando district and Florida state averages. Similarly, Weeki Wachee High School has maintained a consistent 2-star rating, with lower proficiency rates than the district and state, particularly in Algebra 1 and English Language Arts.
Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, with over 29% of students at Winding Waters K-8 and nearly 44% at Weeki Wachee High School missing a significant number of school days. Additionally, more than half of the students at these schools are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch programs, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population that may require additional support and resources to improve academic outcomes.
