Summary:
The city of Elkton, Florida has only one school, South Woods Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the data set is limited to this single school, it provides a comprehensive look at the school's performance and characteristics.
South Woods Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is 69.09% White, 14.51% African American, 9.14% Hispanic, 0.87% Asian, 0.44% Native American, and 5.95% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance lags behind the St. Johns district and the state of Florida across grade levels and subject areas, with the largest gaps in 5th grade English Language Arts and Math. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $12,791, the academic outcomes at South Woods Elementary suggest that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation into the specific factors influencing the school's performance, as well as targeted interventions and resource allocation, may be necessary to help improve outcomes for the students.
