Summary

Louise S. McInnis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in De Leon Springs, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 390 students. The school is part of the Volusia District, which is ranked 28 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, the academic outcomes at Louise S. McInnis Elementary are concerning. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 34.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the Volusia district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally 10-15 percentage points lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are well below the Orange City Elementary School, Pierson Elementary School, and other nearby schools.

Further, Louise S. McInnis Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.23% to 82.18% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools and the district average. The school's statewide ranking has also been declining over the years, from ranking 1388 out of 2118 Florida elementary schools in 2017-2018 to ranking 1320 out of 2258 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school's performance is not improving relative to other schools in the state. These factors indicate the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges faced by the school and improve student outcomes.
