Summary:
The 34243 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Florine J Abel Elementary School standing out as a relatively strong performer, while the other schools face challenges in areas such as academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
Florine J Abel Elementary ranks 921 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools and earns a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has the highest proficiency rates in Math and Science across grades 3-5, exceeding both the Manatee district and Florida state averages. In contrast, Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary struggles, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade Math, and lags behind the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency.
The alternative school, Easter Seals, stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio of 1.2, indicating a high level of individualized attention. However, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.9%, which is a concern and may impact student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key focus area for improvement across all the schools in the 34243 zip code area.
