State report card
Florida grades every public school A to F on the share of possible points it earns from state test results, learning gains and, for middle schools, middle school acceleration; high schools also earn points for graduation rate and college and career acceleration, according to the Florida Department of Education. In the state’s 2026 file an A takes 64% of possible points or more for a middle school.
| School year | Grade |
|---|---|
| 2025-26 | A (64% of possible points) |
| 2024-25 | B |
| 2023-24 | B |
The same file shows a B in each year from 2022 to 2025.
The share of students scoring on grade level on the state tests in 2025-26, from the same file:
- English language arts: 62%
- Math: 59%
- Science: 54%
- Social studies: 85%
- Middle school acceleration: 81% (students passing high school level exams or industry certifications)
The full report card is on the state’s Florida school report cards site, state school number 0461. It is an interactive dashboard; the figures above come from the downloadable 2026 school grades file.
Attendance zone and feeder schools
Check any address with the district’s 2026-27 School Boundary Search or the zone map for this school (PDF). Zones in unincorporated Pasco do not follow the Census Bureau’s Wesley Chapel boundary or ZIP codes. Comparing the district’s 2026-27 attendance boundaries with Pasco County’s address file:
- About 51% of the Weightman zone is inside the Census Bureau’s Wesley Chapel boundary, and 96% of its addresses have a Wesley Chapel mailing address.
- Every address in it goes on to Wesley Chapel High; the two zones are the same.
- By elementary zone, it is about 35% Watergrass Elementary, 26% Wesley Chapel Elementary, 19% New River Elementary, 16% Double Branch Elementary and 3% Quail Hollow Elementary.
- Watergrass and Wesley Chapel elementaries send their whole zones here; the other three split between Weightman and another middle school.
On Nov. 18, 2025, the School Board approved boundary adjustments “to provide for future development” that took effect with the 2026-27 school year and, the district says, do not affect any current students. They involve New River Elementary, Watergrass Elementary, Centennial Middle, Raymond B. Stewart Middle, Thomas E. Weightman Middle, Wesley Chapel High and Zephyrhills High. The maps are on the district’s rezoning page. Weightman’s change takes in an area that was zoned for Centennial Middle.
