Summary:
The 33839 zip code area in Florida is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Eagle Lake Elementary and Pinewood Elementary) and 1 high school (Lake Region High School). While the schools in this area face significant challenges, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates, Pinewood Elementary stands out as the strongest performer.
Pinewood Elementary has the highest statewide ranking among the 3 schools, with 45-57% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 24-40% at Eagle Lake Elementary and 20-57% at Lake Region High School. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 31.4% and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 15.7, which may contribute to its stronger performance.
The high free/reduced lunch rates across all 3 schools, ranging from 69.8% to 75.32%, suggest a high level of economic disadvantage in the local community, which may be a factor in the schools' challenges. Overall, the data indicates that the schools in the Polk district face significant obstacles, but Pinewood Elementary appears to be the strongest performer in the 33839 zip code area.
