Summary:
The 12 schools in the 34741 zip code area of Kissimmee, Florida, serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of public, charter, and alternative institutions. While some schools, like Renaissance Charter School At Tapestry and Kissimmee Middle School, demonstrate strong academic performance, others struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.
The data highlights significant disparities in school performance, with Renaissance Charter School At Tapestry and Kissimmee Middle School outperforming the district and state averages in key subjects, while schools like Central Avenue Elementary School and Victory Charter School K-5 face significant challenges. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the performance disparities.
While Osceola High School has a relatively high graduation rate, the overall data points to the need for targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism, funding disparities, and the unique challenges faced by the New Beginnings Education Center as an alternative school. Addressing these issues could be crucial in driving better academic outcomes for all students in the Osceola district.
