Summary

Mater Academy Davenport is a public charter elementary school serving 682 students in grades K-5 in Davenport, Florida. The school is part of the Polk School District, which is ranked 61 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite generally outperforming the district and state in test scores, Mater Academy Davenport has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 925 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,168 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.

Mater Academy Davenport faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 30.9% in 2022-2023 to 42.4% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the nearby Davenport Elementary School at 31.4%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 75.37% in 2023-2024, compared to 66.14% at Davenport Elementary. However, Mater Academy Davenport spends less per student, at $9,244, compared to $10,966 at Davenport Elementary.

Interestingly, the nearby Davenport School of the Arts, a public magnet school, significantly outperforms Mater Academy Davenport across a range of metrics, including test scores, student-teacher ratio, and free and reduced lunch rates. This suggests that while Mater Academy Davenport is generally outperforming the Polk district and the state of Florida, it may be facing unique challenges that are impacting its overall performance and reputation.
