Better than 15% of Florida elementary schools

Summary

Koa Elementary School in Kissimmee, FL, serves 714 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Osceola school district, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida districts. The school has a 1-star rating and ranks in the 15th percentile statewide, with 68.77% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a predominantly low-income population.

The most critical issue at Koa is chronic absenteeism, which affects 40.7% of students—significantly higher than the state average of 31.4% and far above Bellalago Charter Academy (23.7%), just 3.69 miles away. This persistent problem, hovering around 42% for years, directly impacts academic performance. In math, Koa’s 3rd-grade proficiency is 41%, compared to the district average of 60% and state average of 66%. Only Bridgeprep Academy Osceola County (32%) and Poinciana Academy Of Fine Arts (44%) score lower. Interestingly, Koa outperforms its immediate neighbor, Bridgeprep Academy, on the same street, despite similar demographics, suggesting school-level factors like leadership and culture can make a difference.

There is a glimmer of hope: Koa’s ranking rose from the 9th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 15th percentile in 2025-2026, with 5th-grade math jumping from 31% to 42% and science from 34% to 44%. However, spending per student ($12,484) is above the district average ($12,028), yet results lag behind schools like Reedy Creek Elementary (51st percentile) and Bellalago Charter Academy (33rd percentile), which spend less. This suggests funding allocation, not amount, is key. Until the absenteeism crisis is addressed, academic gains will likely remain capped.
