Summary

Longleaf Elementary School in New Port Richey, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 601 students in grades PK-5 within the Pasco County School District, known for its consistent academic excellence and strong community engagement.

Longleaf stands out for its remarkable stability, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine of the last ten school years. This consistency is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Cotee River Elementary School (1-star) and Anclote Elementary School (0-star), which have struggled academically. The school excels particularly in math, with proficiency rates ranging from 73% to 77% across grades 3-5, significantly outpacing district and state averages. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency at Longleaf is 73%, compared to 54% in the district and 62% statewide. This performance rivals top-tier schools like Trinity Elementary School and Starkey Ranch K-8, which are part of a "triangle of excellence" in the area. Longleaf also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4%, far below the district (29.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, indicating a strong school culture and family involvement.

Another notable strength is Longleaf's efficient use of resources, spending $12,216 per student—less than struggling schools like Cotee River Elementary ($15,603) while achieving superior results. The school has also shown resilience, rebounding from a dip in the 2024-2025 school year to regain its 4-star rating and 82nd percentile ranking in 2025-2026. Additionally, Longleaf consistently outperforms in science, with 72% of 5th graders proficient compared to 56% in the district and 60% statewide. This combination of academic excellence, low absenteeism, and efficient spending makes Longleaf a reliable choice for families, especially when compared to the socioeconomic and performance divides seen in nearby schools like Odessa Elementary School and Deer Park Elementary School.
