Summary

Double Branch Elementary School in Wesley Chapel, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 829 students in grades PK-5 within the Pasco district. The school has shown strong and consistent academic improvement, rising from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating and now ranking in the 64th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This upward trend sets it apart from nearby schools like Watergrass Elementary, which has dropped to the 39th percentile, and Wesley Chapel Elementary, which sits at the 49th percentile. Double Branch also stands out for its cost-effective operations, spending just $8,949 per student—the lowest among its nearby peers—while achieving better academic results than many higher-spending schools.

One of the most remarkable achievements at Double Branch is its perfect 100% proficiency rate in 6th-grade math for four consecutive years, far exceeding the district average of 58% and the state average of 60%. While nearby schools like Wiregrass Elementary also hit 100% in this area, Double Branch's consistency is noteworthy. The school also excels in science, making a massive leap from 40% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 67% in 2025-2026, now significantly above both the district (56%) and state (60%) averages. However, there is a noticeable dip in 5th-grade math proficiency, with only 56% of students meeting standards in 2025-2026, compared to higher rates in 3rd and 4th grades, suggesting a potential area for improvement.

Double Branch also boasts one of the lowest chronic absenteeism rates in the area at 16.9%, well below the district average of 29.2% and the state average of 31.4%. This is a strong indicator of student engagement and family support, especially when compared to schools like Chester W. Taylor Junior Elementary (38.5%) and New River Elementary (26.4%). For families considering options, the nearby Pride Elementary School in the Hillsborough district is a top-tier 5-star school that outperforms Double Branch in most subjects, while charter schools like Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel offer a strong K-8 alternative. Within the Pasco district, however, Double Branch is a compelling, cost-effective public option with a clear upward trajectory.
