Union

Summary:

The Union district in Florida is home to three schools: Lake Butler Elementary School, Lake Butler Middle School, and Union County High School. The data analysis reveals that the elementary and middle schools in this district are standout performers, while the high school faces some challenges.

Lake Butler Elementary School and Lake Butler Middle School both excel academically, with strong proficiency rates in key subjects and efficient resource allocation. Lake Butler Elementary is ranked 672 out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, while Lake Butler Middle is ranked 561 out of 1,205 Florida middle schools with a 3-star rating.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 31.4% to 31.4%, which may be impacting overall academic achievement.
