Summary

Crews Lake Middle School in Spring Hill, FL, serves 709 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Pasco district, which ranks in the 47th percentile among Florida districts. The school has faced a steady decline in state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 48th percentile in 2019 to the 26th-30th percentile in recent years, resulting in a 1-star rating for the last three years. A critical challenge is its exceptionally high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.7% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district average of 29.2% and more than double the rates of higher-performing nearby schools like Charles S. Rushe Middle School (16.9%) and Pine View Middle School (13.1%).

Despite overall low test scores, Crews Lake has a remarkable strength in Algebra 1, with 79% of students proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district (62%) and state (63%) averages—a multi-year trend. However, across all grade levels for English Language Arts and Math, proficiency rates consistently fall below district and state averages. For example, 8th-grade ELA proficiency was 46% (vs. 60% state) and 6th-grade Math proficiency was 42% (vs. 60% state). This underperformance contrasts sharply with peers like Powell Middle School in the Hernando district, which outperforms Crews Lake in nearly every subject despite being in a lower-ranked district.

The school spends $11,277 per student, higher than the spending of top-performing nearby schools like Charles S. Rushe Middle ($8,394) and Pine View Middle ($9,694), indicating that challenges are not solely about funding but likely tied to non-academic factors like absenteeism. The strong link between chronic absenteeism and low performance is evident, as schools with the lowest absenteeism rates—such as Gulf Coast Academy of Science and Technology at 5.1%—are the highest-performing. For Crews Lake, improving attendance is the most impactful step to reverse its declining trajectory, while the success in Algebra 1 offers a model to replicate in other subjects.
