Summary:
The 33913 zip code area in Lee County, Florida, is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools exhibit a mix of strengths and challenges, some standout findings emerge from the data.
Gateway High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.7%, exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school underperforms on state assessments, particularly in Algebra 1 and Geometry. In contrast, Gateway Elementary School demonstrates strong performance in Biology 1 EOC and 5th-grade Math, surpassing district and state proficiency levels, but also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%.
A concerning trend across all 4 schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.4% to 31.4%, significantly higher than the state average. This issue, coupled with the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (49.05% to 58.38%), suggests that these schools face significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the academic and attendance struggles observed. Further analysis of resource allocation, such as spending per student and student-teacher ratios, could provide insights into how these factors impact student outcomes in the 33913 zip code area.
