Summary

Deep Creek Elementary School in Pt Charlotte, FL, serves 781 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Charlotte district, which ranks in the middle of Florida school districts. This school has a strong history of high performance, consistently earning 4-star ratings for nearly a decade, though its most recent state ranking dipped to a 3-star level—a notable change that parents may want to explore further.

Deep Creek stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) scores, with 4th-grade proficiency reaching 71%, the highest among nearby Charlotte County schools. However, this strength contrasts sharply with a weakness in 5th-grade Science, where only 48% of students are proficient—the lowest in the local comparison group and well below the state average of 60%. The school also benefits from low chronic absenteeism (21.7%) and a relatively lower rate of economic disadvantage, with 44% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. For context, nearby Toledo Blade Elementary School in the Sarasota district achieves 79% proficiency in 5th-grade Science despite having a higher rate of economic disadvantage, showing that strong science outcomes are possible with the right focus.

Interestingly, Deep Creek spends the least per student ($12,753) among its peers, suggesting efficient use of resources, but this may also contribute to its science lag. The school’s recent ranking decline is not a district-wide trend, as nearby Sallie Jones Elementary School maintains a 4-star rating with higher scores across subjects. For parents, Deep Creek offers a strong foundation in reading and writing, but the school appears to need targeted investment in science instruction and resources to reverse its recent dip and match the performance of top local schools.
