Summary:
The 34613 zip code area in Hernando, Florida is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 alternative school. While the schools exhibit a range of performance, some standout insights emerge from the data analysis.
Central High School stands out with a relatively high 90.6% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the Hernando district and state averages. However, its test scores are generally below district and state levels, and it has a high 42% chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Endeavor Academy, the alternative school, has concerning metrics, including a 0% graduation rate and an extremely high 88.6% chronic absenteeism rate, along with significantly lower test scores across the board.
Across the schools, racial demographics vary, with White students making up the largest percentage. Socioeconomic challenges are evident, as all schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.59% to 72.73%. Interestingly, the significantly higher spending per student at Endeavor Academy does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving performance in this area.
