Summary:

The 28 elementary schools in Leon County, Florida, serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and reveal a district with a stark performance divide, where a cluster of high-achieving schools coexists with a significant number of schools facing substantial challenges.

The top performers are clear standouts. Hawks Rise Elementary School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide with exceptionally low chronic absenteeism (12.7%) and a very low free/reduced lunch rate (14.89%). Gilchrist Elementary School is a consistent 5-star school with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at just 8.2%, while Killearn Lakes Elementary School also earns 5 stars with a 91st percentile ranking. In contrast, schools like Fort Braden School (1st percentile), Oak Ridge Elementary School (4th percentile), and John G. Riley Elementary School (9th percentile) face significant challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 39.7% to a staggering 60.2% and very high free/reduced lunch rates. The School Of Arts And Sciences On Thomasville is a rising star, jumping from a 3-star to a 4-star ranking with the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (9.76%) and a low student-teacher ratio (10.7:1).

The single most powerful predictor of a school's performance is its chronic absenteeism rate: every school with a rate below 15% is a top performer, while every school with a rate above 40% is a low performer. Notably, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results—Apalachee Elementary School and Astoria Park Elementary School spend over $13,400 per student but rank in the bottom 20%, while Chaires Elementary School achieves a 3-star ranking with a moderate poverty rate, showing that effective strategies can mitigate socioeconomic challenges.
