Summary

Addie R. Lewis School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Valparaiso, Florida, part of the Okaloosa School District, which is ranked 12th out of 67 districts in the state. With 677 students, Addie R. Lewis School has consistently ranked in the top half of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, currently at 1059 out of 2258 schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Okaloosa district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, Addie R. Lewis School had an 87% proficiency rate in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 66% for Okaloosa and 60% for Florida. The school also had higher proficiency rates in Civics, Science, and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels. This academic success may be attributed to the school's higher per-student spending of $13,385 and lower student-teacher ratio of 14.7, both of which are above the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Okaloosa district, Addie R. Lewis School stands out as a high-performing institution. For example, Liza Jackson Preparatory School, a charter school, also performs exceptionally well, but other traditional public schools in the area, such as Elliott Point Elementary, Kenwood Elementary, and Longwood Elementary, have lower test scores and lower statewide rankings. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.5% to 31.4% over the past few years, are an area of concern that the school and district should address.
