Summary

Neptune Elementary School in Saint Cloud, FL, serves 1,052 students in grades PK-5 within the Osceola school district, a district ranked in the bottom 20% of Florida. The school has historically been a 2-star school, and its ranking has declined to the 28th percentile in the most recent data, its lowest point in a decade. Just over half of its students (51.24%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderately high-needs population.

A key concern is Neptune's persistent underperformance in English Language Arts (ELA), where it consistently scores below both district and state averages across all tested grades. For example, 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (41%) is 15 points below the district average (56%) and 19 points below the state (60%). This is a significant weakness compared to higher-performing nearby schools like Hickory Tree Elementary School and St. Cloud Elementary School. However, there is a bright spot: 5th-grade math proficiency (62%) is 13 points above the district average (49%) and ties the state average (62%), suggesting an effective teacher or program in that specific subject. This success stands in contrast to 5th-grade science (42%), which is well below the state average (60%).

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge, with a rate of 33.1% in 2023-2024, nearly double that of successful neighbors like Canoe Creek K-8 (14.7%) and Hickory Tree Elementary School (19.2%). This rate has risen sharply from 18.7% in 2019-2020, making it a likely driver of academic struggles. Notably, nearby schools like Lakeview Elementary School and St. Cloud Elementary School serve similar populations but achieve much better outcomes, proving improvement is possible. Neptune's per-student spending ($10,792) is in the middle of the pack, reinforcing that how resources are used—especially to address attendance and replicate the 5th-grade math success—matters more than the amount spent.
