Summary:
Zip code 32011 in Callahan, Florida, is served by two elementary schools—Callahan Elementary School (grades PK-2) and Callahan Intermediate School (grades 3-5)—both part of the highly rated Nassau County School District, which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.
These two schools function as a seamless "feeder pair," creating a single K-5 educational journey. Callahan Intermediate School is the standout for academic performance, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 83rd to 86th percentile statewide. Its test scores are exceptional: in the 2024-2025 school year, 89% of 5th graders were proficient in math and 82% in science, far exceeding state averages of 57% and 55%, respectively. Callahan Elementary School lacks standardized test data (testing begins in 3rd grade) but excels in its foundational role, with a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and higher per-student spending ($12,039) compared to the intermediate school (16.2:1 and $10,249). This strategic investment in early education appears to pay off, as the intermediate school’s elite results suggest strong preparation at the PK-2 level.
Both schools share a chronic absenteeism rate of about 25%, which is notably better than the district (36%) and state (31.4%) averages. Despite this, the intermediate school still achieves top-tier academic outcomes, indicating highly effective instruction for attending students. A slight dip in 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (60% vs. 79% in 3rd grade and 73% in 5th grade) is the only area below district averages, suggesting a potential transitional challenge worth monitoring. Overall, the Callahan pipeline delivers exceptional results, making these schools a strong choice for families in the area.
