Summary:
The 32626 zip code area in Florida is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.92% to 82.14%.
Among the standout schools in this area is Whispering Winds Charter School, an elementary charter school that has performed relatively well, ranking in the top half of Florida elementary schools for the past 3 years and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are generally above the Levy district and state averages, particularly in math, and it boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1. Another charter school, Nature Coast Middle School, has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and stands out for having 100% of students proficient in Algebra 1, significantly higher than the district and state.
In contrast, Chiefland Middle High School and Chiefland Elementary School lag behind the charter schools in academic performance, with test scores generally below the district and state averages. However, Chiefland Middle High School does have a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.7%, which is above the state average. Across all 4 schools, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4% is a concerning trend that likely impacts student learning and achievement.
