Summary

C. A. Weis Elementary School in Pensacola, FL, serves 538 students in grades PK through 5 and is a Title I school in the Escambia district, where over 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school faces significant challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 47.7% in the 2023-2024 school year—nearly 1.5 times the district and state averages, and a stark contrast to nearby N. B. Cook Elementary School, which has a rate of just 8.6%. Academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are consistently 20-35 percentage points below district and state averages, placing the school in the bottom 5% of Florida elementary schools for over a decade.

Despite spending $11,578 per student—higher than the high-performing N. B. Cook ($11,037) and Cordova Park Elementary ($10,305)—outcomes remain low, suggesting that increased funding alone cannot address the deep-rooted issues tied to poverty and attendance. A brief bright spot occurred in the 2023-2024 school year when 61% of 5th graders were proficient in Math, exceeding the district average of 51%, but this success was not sustained in subsequent years. The chronic absenteeism crisis, which has remained above 47% for four years, is a foundational barrier that undermines academic progress, as nearly half of students miss significant instructional time.

The contrast with N. B. Cook Elementary, just 2.5 miles away, highlights a profound educational divide: N. B. Cook ranks in the 91st percentile with a 42.6% poverty rate, while C. A. Weis ranks in the 3rd percentile. This underscores that a child's zip code in Pensacola can drastically shape their educational opportunities. Meaningful improvement at C. A. Weis will require a holistic, community-wide strategy focused on tackling absenteeism and providing wraparound support for students and families, extending far beyond classroom instruction.
