Summary

San Antonio Elementary School in Dade City, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 706 students in grades PK-5 within the Pasco County School District, situated in a community that sits between more affluent and higher-need areas.

The most pressing concern for San Antonio Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than nearby top-performing schools like Academy At The Farm (14.9%) and Wesley Chapel Elementary (21.2%). This attendance issue has persisted above 30% for three of the last four years and is a major barrier to academic success, even though the school's poverty rate (34.8% free/reduced lunch) is lower than struggling neighbors like Pasco Elementary (64-75%). Additionally, the school has the highest student-teacher ratio (17.4:1) among its traditional K-5 peers, compared to Quail Hollow Elementary (15.4:1) and Watergrass Elementary (15.6:1), which may contribute to academic struggles.

Academically, the school shows a puzzling pattern: while 5th-grade science scores improved to 56% in 2025-2026 (matching the district average), math and English Language Arts scores have generally declined. A notable red flag is the large 13-point drop in math proficiency between 3rd grade (56%) and 4th grade (43%), the biggest negative gap among nearby schools—contrasting with Centennial Elementary and Quail Hollow, which saw positive gains. Overall, the school has dropped to the 30th percentile (1 star) for 2025-2026, placing it below many area schools but above Pasco Elementary (15th percentile) and Rodney B. Cox Elementary (21st percentile).
