Summary

Chocachatti Elementary School in Brooksville, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 783 students in grades PK through 5 within the Hernando County School District.

Chocachatti Elementary consistently delivers exceptional academic results that far exceed both the district and state averages. For example, in 5th grade math, 86% of students were proficient, compared to just 49% for the district and 62% statewide. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1%, which is nearly half the district average of 40.8%. This strong performance is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools like Brooksville Elementary and Moton Elementary, which consistently rank in the bottom half of the state. Even more striking, Chocachatti achieves results that rival the selective magnet school Challenger K-8 School of Science and Math, but without any admissions filter, making it a standout neighborhood school.

The school's success is not driven by higher spending, as its per-student funding is in the middle of the pack for the area. Instead, it reflects a strong school culture and effective use of resources. While the Hernando district overall ranks low in Florida, Chocachatti has been a pillar of stability, ranking in the 85th percentile or higher for nine of the last ten years. For parents seeking a reliable, high-achieving public elementary school in the Brooksville area, Chocachatti Elementary is a clear top choice.
