Summary:
The 34268 zip code has only one school, Nocatee Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is ranked relatively low, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking between 1611-1753 out of 2256-2258 Florida elementary schools.
Nocatee Elementary School's test scores are generally below the Desoto district and state averages, with only 33% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 46% proficient or better in math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, which may be contributing to its poor academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 81.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $15,190 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 18.9 to 1, which is within a reasonable range, Nocatee Elementary School does not appear to be providing a high-quality education for its students. The lack of school choice options in the 34268 zip code may be a concern for families seeking better educational opportunities for their children.
