Summary

Wyomina Park Elementary School in Ocala, FL, serves 502 students in grades PK-5 within the Marion County School District, a district ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida school districts, and the school itself has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of all Florida elementary schools for nearly a decade.

The most critical issue at Wyomina Park is its alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 50.8% (2023-2024), which is 1.6 times higher than both the district and state averages and a staggering 10 times higher than nearby high-performing schools like Madison Street Academy of Visual and Performing Arts (5.0%) and Eighth Street Elementary (9.4%). This persistent absenteeism, hovering around 45-50% for four years, is the single most powerful factor explaining the school's poor academic outcomes. Despite spending a relatively high $13,703 per student—more than nearby high-performing schools like Dr. N. H. Jones Elementary ($11,444)—the academic returns are the lowest in the comparison group, suggesting funding is used to address the severe consequences of poverty and absenteeism rather than directly boosting achievement.

There is a glimmer of hope: the most recent test scores (2025-2026) show a significant, broad-based improvement, with 3rd grade math proficiency jumping 26 percentage points (from 23% to 49%) and 3rd grade ELA rising 16 points (from 25% to 41%). However, these rates still lag behind district and state averages in every subject and grade. The school's struggles stand in stark contrast to nearby magnet schools like Madison Street Academy (98th percentile) and Eighth Street Elementary (87th percentile), which serve far fewer students from low-income families (30.8% and 29.9% free/reduced lunch, respectively, versus Wyomina Park's 83.7%). This geographic proximity highlights a severe socioeconomic and educational divide within Ocala, underscoring that the primary driver of Wyomina Park's performance is the profound impact of poverty and chronic absenteeism, not the quality of its teachers or administration.
