Summary

Sugarloaf School in Summerland Key, FL, is a public PK-8 school serving 651 students within the Monroe County School District, a district ranked in the top 30% of Florida.

Sugarloaf School presents a mixed picture of strengths and challenges. Its most notable achievement is in advanced math: an exceptional 95% of students taking the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also shows strong middle school math performance, with 71% of 7th graders proficient in math, outperforming nearby Horace O'Bryant School. However, the school struggles with inconsistent performance across subjects. While middle school English Language Arts (ELA) scores are strong—with 71% of 6th graders proficient—elementary ELA and science scores lag behind state averages. For example, only 46% of 5th graders were proficient in science. This pattern suggests that success may be driven by specific programs or teachers rather than a school-wide culture of high achievement.

The school's most significant challenge is a high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5%, far above the district average and much higher than nearby Sigsbee Charter School (14.7%). This persistent issue likely impacts overall academic performance. Despite spending a high amount per student ($17,715), Sugarloaf's overall state ranking has declined slightly to the 41st percentile. For parents, this means the school offers excellent advanced math and middle school programs, but addressing absenteeism is critical for the school to reach its full potential.
