Summary

Mater Academy Davenport is a K-5 public charter school in Davenport, FL, serving 815 students within the Polk County School District, where it stands out as a strong academic option in a district that ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida.

This school is a clear "bright spot" in its area, consistently outperforming its closest traditional public school neighbors by a wide margin. For example, in 3rd Grade Math, Mater Academy’s proficiency rate (77%) is double that of Davenport Elementary (38%) and far exceeds Loughman Oaks Elementary (41%). It also achieves these results with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.6:1, compared to 25.3:1 at Davenport Elementary, and with a high percentage of students (69.45%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While it is not the top-performing school in the region—Davenport School of the Arts and Celebration K-8 are both 4-star schools—Mater Academy is highly effective at closing the achievement gap for its student population, achieving a 3-star rating with below-average spending per student ($9,465).

Despite its strengths in early grades, the school faces two critical challenges. First, there is a noticeable "5th grade slump," where proficiency rates in both ELA (48%) and Math (55%) fall below the state average. Second, chronic absenteeism is a major red flag at 42.4%, significantly higher than the state average of 31.4%. Addressing these issues is key to the school’s future success and could help it move from a solid 3-star rating to a consistent 4-star performer.
