Summary

Calusa Park Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Naples, FL, serving 670 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Collier County School District. This school stands out for its consistent, above-average science performance, with 5th-grade proficiency rates that have exceeded both district and state averages in recent years—a notable strength compared to nearby schools like Avalon Elementary School, Lely Elementary School, and Shadowlawn Elementary School, which often score below the district average in this subject.

Calusa Park also shows a clear "late bloomer" trend, with student proficiency rates steadily increasing from 3rd to 5th grade in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the most recent data, math proficiency jumps from 60% in 3rd grade to 73% in 5th grade, while ELA improves from 47% to 67%. This upward trajectory is more pronounced than at high-performing peers like Lely Elementary, where scores tend to plateau or decline by 5th grade. Additionally, the school boasts low and improving chronic absenteeism—just 14.4% in 2023-2024, compared to 17.4% for the district and 31.4% statewide—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Avalon (20.5%) and Shadowlawn (20.2%).

While Calusa Park has a slight downward trend in its state ranking over the past five years, it remains a stable, well-rounded choice in the neighborhood. It offers a strong math program and a balanced profile, especially when compared to nearby options like Bridgeprep Academy Collier, a charter school with a 0-star rating, or Mike Davis Elementary School, which has a higher poverty rate. For parents seeking a school with a strong community feel, consistent student growth, and a standout science program, Calusa Park is a solid and understated choice in the area.
