Best Public Schools in Zip Code 32680

Summary:

The 32680 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Old Town Elementary School, which serves students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. Located within the Dixie school district, Old Town Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Florida elementary schools over the past three years, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Old Town Elementary excels in several key areas, outperforming both district and state averages in 5th grade science proficiency, 3rd grade ELA proficiency, and 3rd grade math proficiency. However, the school's 4th and 5th grade ELA proficiency rates are lower than the district average, though still higher than the state. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 83.26%, indicates a significant economically disadvantaged population, which may present unique challenges.

Despite these socioeconomic factors, Old Town Elementary School has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.2 to 1 and spends above the state average per student, at $12,536 per year. The school's one area of concern is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, which is an issue that may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
