Summary

Ozona Elementary School in Palm Harbor, FL, is a well-regarded public school serving 727 students in grades PK through 5, part of the top-ranked Pinellas County School District. This school stands out for its exceptional and consistent math performance, with recent proficiency rates of 81% in 3rd grade, 87% in 4th grade, and 87% in 5th grade—significantly higher than district and state averages. For example, its 4th-grade math score of 87% surpasses nearby schools like Curlew Creek Elementary (64%) and Garrison-Jones Elementary (77%), while being only slightly behind elite performers like Elisa Nelson Elementary (92%).

Ozona also boasts strong and balanced English Language Arts (ELA) scores, with proficiency rates of 81%, 74%, and 75% across grades 3-5, consistently above district and state levels. This balance contrasts with schools like Garrison-Jones, where math scores far outpace ELA. Additionally, Ozona’s 5th-grade science proficiency of 80% is 10 points above the district and 20 points above the state, placing it in the upper tier of science performers in the area. The school has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.1%, less than half the district (30.6%) and state (31.4%) averages, indicating a strong culture of attendance and student engagement.

Ozona is on a clear upward trajectory, with its state ranking jumping from the 87th percentile to the 96th percentile in recent years, suggesting effective leadership and teaching strategies. Interestingly, the school achieves superior results with moderate per-student spending ($13,115), outperforming higher-spending peers like San Jose Elementary ($19,771). While Ozona is an excellent school, it operates in the shadow of the nearby Elisa Nelson Elementary, ranked #14 in the state, making it a fantastic "second choice" for families. A potential area for focus is a slight dip in 5th-grade ELA proficiency (75%) compared to 3rd grade (81%), a trend worth monitoring as the school continues its impressive improvement.
