Summary:
The 34736 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. While South Lake High School performs better than the other schools, the overall academic performance in this area is concerning, with Gray Middle School and Groveland Elementary School struggling with low test scores and rankings.
Gray Middle School, ranked 832 out of 1,196 Florida middle schools, has some bright spots, such as strong performance in Algebra 1 and Geometry. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.5% is a significant concern. Groveland Elementary, ranked 2,030 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools, faces even greater challenges, with only 29-40% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math, and a high free/reduced lunch rate of 63.04%, indicating a large population of economically disadvantaged students.
While South Lake High School has a respectable 92.0% four-year graduation rate, its test scores are generally below the Lake district and state averages. The high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, ranging from 34.1% to 45.5%, suggest that addressing attendance issues could be a crucial step in improving academic outcomes in this area.
