Summary:
The 32038 zip code in Florida is home to two schools: Fort White High School and Fort White Elementary School. While the high school excels in certain subject areas, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and serve a student population with significant socioeconomic needs.
Fort White High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.1% and strong performance in some End-of-Course (EOC) exams, such as Biology 1, US History, and Civics. However, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in Algebra 1 and Geometry compared to state and district averages. In contrast, Fort White Elementary School performs well in 3rd-5th grade FAST Math assessments but lags behind in 5th grade Statewide Science assessments.
Both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, with Fort White High School at 47.2% and Fort White Elementary School at 35.3%, significantly above the state and Columbia district averages. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 57.6% and 66.23%, respectively, suggest that the student population faces socioeconomic challenges that could impact academic performance and other outcomes.
