Summary

Connerton Elementary School in Land O Lakes, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 953 students in grades PK-5 within the Pasco school district, and it is currently on a strong upward trajectory after reversing a multi-year decline. The school has climbed from the 38th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. This makes it the most improved school in its immediate area, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Quail Hollow Elementary, which has been declining, and Bexley Elementary, which has dropped from a high of the 76th percentile. While Connerton is still a "middle of the pack" performer compared to top-tier neighbors like Sanders Memorial Elementary (90th percentile) and Oakstead Elementary (79th percentile), its consistent upward trend is a key differentiator.

A standout strength is Connerton’s exceptional advanced math program, with 100% of its 6th graders scoring proficient in math for the past four years—a perfect score that rivals top performers like Sanders Memorial and Oakstead. This sustained achievement suggests a deliberate and successful strategy for accelerating high-achieving math students. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 24.7% for the 2023-2024 school year. This rate is nearly double that of Sanders Memorial (13.5%) and Oakstead (13.4%), and it is the highest among its immediate competitive set, including Veterans Elementary (17.5%) and Lake Myrtle Elementary (18.6%).

Interestingly, Connerton is improving its overall ranking despite this high absenteeism, which indicates that the students who are attending are performing exceptionally well. The school serves a moderately affluent population, with 27.28% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025, a figure that has been steadily decreasing from 39% in 2022-2023. This demographic shift may be contributing to the academic improvement. Per-student spending at Connerton ($10,007) is in the middle of the pack, suggesting that the recent gains are driven by factors like instructional strategies rather than just increased funding. If the school can reduce its chronic absenteeism, it has the potential to jump dramatically in rankings and compete with the top-tier schools in the Land O Lakes area.
