Summary

Bunnell Elementary School in Bunnell, FL, serves 1,061 students in grades PK-5 and is a key part of the Flagler district, which is ranked among the top in the state.

While the district overall performs well, Bunnell Elementary has consistently ranked in the lower half of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 2-star rating. The school’s biggest challenge is a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.6% (2023-2024), which is significantly higher than nearby Belle Terre Elementary School (27.2%) and Old Kings Elementary School (34.5% free/reduced lunch). This absenteeism is strongly linked to lower academic performance, with proficiency rates in 5th-grade math (46%) and ELA (44%) falling well below the district average (60% and 59%, respectively). However, there is a bright spot: 3rd-grade math proficiency (73%) actually exceeded the district average (70%), showing pockets of effective instruction.

Interestingly, Bunnell spends more per student ($13,749) than any other Flagler elementary school, yet achieves lower results—a paradox that suggests funds are being used for support services to address high needs, but these efforts have not yet translated into academic gains. Compared to schools in neighboring Volusia and Putnam districts, Bunnell’s performance is mixed; for example, its 5th-grade science score (54%) is higher than Middleton-Burney Elementary School (42%) but lower than Tomoka Elementary School (72%). For parents, the key takeaway is that Bunnell is a high-needs school where improving attendance is the most critical step to boosting student success.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, October 14, 2014

I have never been more infuriated with a school's staff, in my life. My child has mild Autism and requires therapy... Well, for some reason she has yet to receive therapy of any kind (two months later). What's a Mom to do when you can't get into the school, to speak to anyone, unless you have an appointment, but nobody will call/email you back to make an appointment.. Nobody will speak to you, except the teacher, but she can't do anything about it.. It took me, her therapists, and teachers three years of hard work, to get my child on track and ready for school ON TIME.. But with the lack of help from this school's staff she's, already, behind.. My child's education is NOT a joking matter and I am sick to death with being treated disrespectfully every time I have an interaction with a staff member at this school. I have never felt defeated as a Mother, until my child started kindergarten, this year.. Never thought I would have to relocate, into another county, in order to feel comfortable with her going to school. SHAME ON YOU STAFF MEMBERS! I only gave the one star because of the teacher my Daughter has. She is a wonderful woman, and great teacher. Close Quote
