Summary:
The 33990 zip code area is home to two schools - Caloosa Elementary School and Caloosa Middle School, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state and district averages on various academic measures. The data suggests that the schools in this area face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
According to the data, neither Caloosa Elementary nor Caloosa Middle School stand out as high-performing schools. Caloosa Elementary is ranked 989 out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools and has a 3-star rating, while Caloosa Middle is ranked 878 out of 1,205 Florida middle schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools have relatively low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to state and district averages. However, Caloosa Middle School does have higher proficiency rates in Algebra 1 and Civics compared to the district and state, but lower proficiency in 8th grade Science.
The data also reveals that both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 63% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate for both schools is 31.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools suggest that resource allocation may not be equitable across the district. Addressing the underlying issues, such as socioeconomic factors, chronic absenteeism, and resource allocation, could be crucial in improving the performance of these schools in the Lee district.
