Summary

Suwannee Springcrest Elementary is a public elementary school in Live Oak, Florida, serving 619 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Suwannee School District.

The school faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 46.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools in the Suwannee District. Suwannee Springcrest Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency (57%) was higher than the Suwannee District (56%) and the state (55%) averages, but the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (53%) was lower than the district (60%) and state (57%) averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.33% to 75.93% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Suwannee Springcrest Elementary to other schools, the challenges it faces appear to be systemic within the Suwannee District, as the nearby Suwannee Riverside Elementary and Suwannee Pineview Elementary schools have similar performance characteristics. However, when compared to out-of-district schools like Westside Elementary School in the Columbia District and Lafayette Elementary School in the Lafayette District, the differences become more pronounced, with the out-of-district schools having higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates, despite serving similar student populations.
