Summary:
The 32301 zip code area of Tallahassee, Florida is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one of which is a public magnet school), and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals a mix of performance levels, with one high school showing stronger academic results and graduation rates, while the elementary school struggles with low test scores and high rates of economic disadvantage among its student population.
James Rickards High School, the largest school in the area with 1,575 students, has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 89.7% but also a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%. Academically, the school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages, with a few subject areas like Biology 1 and US History performing better. In contrast, Frank Hartsfield Elementary School has consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, one of the lowest in the state.
The Pace Center for Girls, a small high school with 58 students, stands out with a high four-year graduation rate of 89.7% and a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.6. However, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 87.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the schools in the 32301 zip code area face challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting the academic needs of their economically disadvantaged student populations.
