Summary

West Zephyrhills Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 621 students in grades PK-5 in Zephyrhills, Florida, which is part of the Pasco District. Over the past several years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Zephyrhills Elementary faces significant challenges, with very low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28-45.6%, and an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 76.65% to 82.25%. Across all grade levels and subjects, the school lags behind the Pasco district and Florida state averages in the percentage of students scoring proficient or better on tests. For example, in 2024-2025 projected scores, the school had 43% proficient in 3rd grade ELA, 19% in 4th grade ELA, and 25% in 5th grade ELA, compared to 57% for the district and state.

Interestingly, the nearby Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel, Double Branch Elementary, and Academy at the Farm charter schools significantly outperform West Zephyrhills Elementary on test scores, despite serving similar demographics. These charter schools have 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger, in contrast to West Zephyrhills' 0-1 star rating. The high spending per student at West Zephyrhills Elementary, at $13,535 in 2023-2024, does not seem to translate into better outcomes for students, as the nearby charter schools achieve higher performance with lower per-student spending.
