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 65% of possible points or more for a high or combination school.
| School year | Grade |
|---|---|
| 2025-26 | A (65% 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: 64%
- Math: 50%
- Science: 75%
- Social studies: 77%
- Graduation rate (2024-25): 97%
- College and career acceleration (2024-25): 59% of graduates

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 Wesley Chapel High zone is inside the Census Bureau’s Wesley Chapel boundary, and 96% of its addresses have a Wesley Chapel mailing address. It covers about 30% of the addresses in that boundary.
- Thomas E. Weightman Middle is the only middle school zone feeding Wesley Chapel High.
- 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. The rest of the Double Branch zone goes to Wiregrass Ranch High, most of New River’s to Zephyrhills High and most of Quail Hollow’s to Cypress Creek High.
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. Wesley Chapel High’s change takes in land that was zoned for Zephyrhills High.
