Summary:
The 34639 zip code area in Pasco, Pasco school district, is home to 4 schools - 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the district as a whole is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, one school in the area stands out as a high-performing institution: Countryside Montessori Academy.
Countryside Montessori Academy is a shining example, ranking 426 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently achieves high test scores, with 80% or more of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math across grade levels. In contrast, the other schools in the area have more mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind. Countryside Montessori's success is likely due to its Montessori-based curriculum and approach, as well as its low student-teacher ratio of 12.3.
Another key difference is the student demographics. Countryside Montessori has a more diverse student body and a significantly lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (3.36%) compared to the other schools in the area, which range from 32.39% to 42.53%. This suggests Countryside Montessori may be providing a high-quality education to a more socioeconomically diverse population. Understanding the factors that contribute to Countryside's success could provide valuable insights for improving education across the Pasco school district.
