Summary

John D. Floyd Elementary School in Spring Hill, FL, serves approximately 920 students in grades PK-5 within the Hernando district, and it has recently received a 1-star rating, placing it in the 29th percentile of Florida elementary schools.

A key concern is a significant academic decline between 3rd and 5th grade. While 3rd graders perform at state averages in English Language Arts (61% proficient) and math (63% proficient), 5th-grade scores drop dramatically. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency is just 37%, which is 25 points below the state average and the lowest among nearby schools. Science scores follow a similar pattern at 37% proficient. This "3rd to 5th grade cliff" suggests a systemic challenge in upper elementary instruction. In contrast, Spring Hill Elementary, a school with similar demographics just 2.5 miles away, outperforms Floyd in nearly every metric, especially in 5th grade, showing that these struggles are not inevitable.

Chronic absenteeism is another major issue, with a rate of 32.1%—above the state average. This is starkly different from the nearby Challenger K-8 School of Science and Math, a top-performing magnet school just 1.23 miles away, which has a 14.3% absenteeism rate. Notably, Floyd spends $11,848 per student, more than Challenger K-8, indicating that funding is not the primary issue. The school's ranking has been on a downward trend since its peak in 2015-2016, and the combination of declining test scores and high absenteeism suggests a need for focused intervention, particularly in the upper grades.
