Summary

Homosassa Elementary School in Homosassa, FL, serves 405 students in grades PK-5 within the Citrus district, a high-needs area where nearly 64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional science program. In the most recent school year, 78% of 5th graders were proficient in science—far exceeding the district average of 51% and the state average of 60%. This is not a one-time success; Homosassa has consistently outperformed nearby schools in this subject for four years. For example, the closest competitor, Lecanto Primary School, achieved only 61% proficiency. In math, the school shows a unique pattern: 5th graders perform well (57% proficient, beating the district's 45%), but 3rd and 4th graders lag behind district and state averages. This is the opposite of many nearby schools like Rock Crusher Elementary School and Hernando Elementary School, which have stronger early-grade math scores that decline later.

However, the school faces a serious challenge: chronic absenteeism. In 2023-2024, 39.6% of students were chronically absent—much higher than the district average (37.7%) and every other nearby elementary school, which ranged from 28.4% to 35.6%. Despite this, Homosassa invests more per student ($12,287) than most peers and has a lower student-teacher ratio (17.9:1). The school's state ranking has declined in recent years, but its test scores in key areas like 5th-grade science and math have remained stable, suggesting that other schools are improving faster rather than Homosassa getting worse. The science program is a clear strength that could serve as a model for the district.
