Summary:
Paisley, Florida, is home to a single school, Spring Creek Charter School, a public charter elementary school serving grades PK through 8 with 606 students in the Lake district.
Spring Creek Charter School shows a clear academic strength in mathematics, consistently outperforming both district and state averages across most grade levels. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency reached 78% in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 61% for both the district and state. The school also excels in Algebra 1, with 71% proficiency in the same year, and shows a notable spike in 6th-grade English Language Arts (ELA), where 73% of students were proficient, well above the state average of 62%. However, the school struggles in Science and Civics, with 8th-grade science proficiency at 45% (below the district) and Civics at 74% (below the state average of 77%). The school serves a majority low-income population, with 64.85% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, yet it achieves strong math results. A critical concern is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 35.8%, higher than the state average of 31.4%.
Overall, Spring Creek Charter School has shown a positive trajectory, improving from a 2-star rating (33rd percentile) in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating (52nd percentile) in 2025-2026. The school's performance is marked by volatility in year-over-year scores, such as 7th-grade math dropping from 60% to 38% and 8th-grade math jumping from 43% to 78% in the same period. This suggests that while the school has standout strengths in math and 6th-grade ELA, addressing absenteeism and improving science and civics instruction could be key to raising overall performance. For parents, this school offers a strong math program but may require additional support in other subjects.
