Summary

Chasco Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Port Richey, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 636 students. The school is part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 40 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Chasco Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.0% to 42.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Pasco district and Florida state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Pasco district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Chasco's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 36%, compared to 49% for Pasco and 55% for Florida. Additionally, Chasco Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.46% to 86.64% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Chasco Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Pasco district, it becomes evident that Chasco is consistently one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. For instance, Deer Park Elementary School, located just 0.56 miles away, outperforms Chasco in test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. Furthermore, Chasco Elementary School's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1519 out of 2064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1833 out of 2258 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school is struggling to make meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
