Summary

Oakstead Elementary School in Land O' Lakes, FL, is a large, high-performing PK-5 school serving 1,045 students within the Pasco County School District, and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past five years, placing it in the 75th to 79th percentile statewide.

Oakstead stands out for its remarkable consistency and specific academic strengths. While nearby schools like Sanders Memorial Elementary School (ranked in the 90th percentile) and McKitrick Elementary School (ranked in the 98th percentile) have higher peak rankings, Oakstead’s performance has been exceptionally stable, avoiding the volatility seen at schools like Pine View Elementary School or Bexley Elementary School. A standout metric is its 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, where 82% of students scored proficient—a full 22 percentage points above both the district and state averages, and the highest among all nearby Pasco elementary schools, even outperforming Sanders Memorial (76%). The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%, the lowest among its local peers, which is a strong indicator of student engagement and a positive school culture.

Oakstead achieves these strong results with notable efficiency, spending $9,446 per student—the second-lowest among its Pasco County peers and significantly less than schools like Lake Myrtle Elementary School ($11,337) or Pine View Elementary School ($12,786). An interesting data point is the school's perfect 100% proficiency rate in 6th-grade math for four consecutive years, which likely reflects a small group of advanced 5th graders taking accelerated coursework. While its 5th-grade science scores remain strong at 71%, the lead over the district has narrowed slightly, making it a metric worth watching. For families seeking a reliable, high-achieving school with a strong sense of community and efficient operations, Oakstead is a compelling choice.
