Summary

Fuguitt Elementary School in Largo, FL, is a public school serving 464 students in grades PK through 5 within the Pinellas district, where 65.73% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. After a period of strong improvement that saw its state ranking climb from the 18th percentile to the 68th percentile by 2022, the school has experienced a sharp decline, dropping to the 36th percentile and earning a 2-star rating. This recent downturn makes it one of the lowest-performing schools in its immediate area, especially when compared to nearby schools like Frontier Elementary School and Ponce De Leon Elementary School, which have maintained rankings in the 64th-74th percentile.

A major concern is Fuguitt's extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.7%, which is significantly worse than many peers like Pinellas Academy Of Math And Science (16.3%) and Pinellas Preparatory Academy (16.8%). This absenteeism likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, particularly in math, where only 42% of 5th graders were proficient compared to the district average of 69%. Interestingly, Fuguitt spends $15,084 per student—more than higher-performing neighbors like Frontier Elementary ($13,800)—suggesting potential issues with resource allocation or instructional efficiency.

The school's performance is inconsistent across grade levels; for instance, 3rd graders have excelled in both English Language Arts and Math, while 5th graders have struggled significantly. This "cohort effect" indicates that the school may be failing to sustain academic growth as students progress. Nearby Plato Seminole, despite having a much lower rate of economically disadvantaged students (31.83%), has a similar overall ranking (39th percentile), highlighting Fuguitt's challenges in its high-poverty context. Immediate interventions should focus on reducing chronic absenteeism and providing targeted math support for upper-grade students.

Terrible teaching plans, gaslighting from kids, especially from teachers that would not help, and dealt with racism. Yes it’s relevant because staff was very neglectful of it. Didn’t want the bad rap I guess, especially since it’s in FL. Close Quote
