Summary:
The 32052 zip code area in Florida has 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, but no middle schools. The schools generally struggle academically, with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism compared to state averages.
Hamilton County High School is the largest school with 849 students, but its 4-year graduation rate of 89.7% is slightly below the state average, and its test scores are significantly lower than Florida averages across all subjects and grade levels. Hamilton County Elementary School has 759 students and also performs poorly, with proficiency rates ranging from 21% to 57% in 3rd-5th grade ELA and math, well below state norms. The smallest school, Oak Grove Academy, is an alternative high school with only 28 students and a high 31.4% chronic absenteeism rate.
All 3 schools have very high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.4% to 31.4%, which is a major concern and likely contributes to the low academic performance. The elementary and alternative high school also have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates of 89.3% and unknown%, respectively, indicating high-poverty student populations. While per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are reasonable, the overall picture is one of chronically underperforming schools serving high-poverty communities that are struggling to meet the needs of their students.
