Summary:
The 32605 zip code area of Gainesville, Florida is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population and exhibit varying levels of academic performance, with some standout schools and others facing significant challenges.
Among the middle schools, Westwood Middle School and Howard W. Bishop Middle School stand out for their relatively high proficiency rates in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Civics. However, these middle schools struggle more on the FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) English Language Arts and Math assessments, where their proficiency rates are generally lower than the Alachua district and state averages. In contrast, Littlewood Elementary School excels, with the highest proficiency rates among the elementary schools in the data set, outperforming the district and state in FAST English Language Arts and Math, as well as 5th-grade science.
The data also reveals significant challenges at Siatech Mycroschool Inc., the public charter high school in the area. This school stands out with its low graduation rate of 35.8% and high chronic absenteeism rate of 66.8%, both significantly worse than the district and state averages. Additionally, Siatech Mycroschool Inc. has much lower proficiency rates in EOC Biology 1 and FAST 10th-grade English Language Arts compared to the district and state. These performance disparities between the middle schools and the high school suggest that the challenges faced by the high school may be hindering student achievement in the area.
