Summary

Steinhatchee School is an elementary school located in Steinhatchee, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 122 students. This school has seen a remarkable turnaround, going from a 1-star school to a 5-star school in the latest rankings, thanks to its strong academic performance.

Steinhatchee School consistently outperforms the surrounding Dixie and Taylor school districts, as well as the state of Florida, in academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, 90% of 5th-grade students at Steinhatchee School were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to just 49% for the Taylor district and 55% for the state. The school also had higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5. This strong academic performance may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $15,710 to $17,394, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15 to 17.7 students per teacher.

While Steinhatchee School outperforms the nearby James M. Anderson Elementary School and Kinder Cub School Inc. in academic assessments, these nearby schools also have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating similar economic challenges. However, Steinhatchee School's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 54.7% over the past few years, remain an area of concern that the school should address to ensure continued academic success.
