Orlo Vista Elementary

Q: Is Orlo Vista Elementary a good school?

Orlo Vista Elementary ranks 1594 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Orlo Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 414 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orlo Vista Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of African American students (63.04%) compared to nearby schools, consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 37.0% to 47.9%), and consistently lower test scores than the Orange County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Orlo Vista's 5th-grade science proficiency was 45%, compared to 61% for Orange County and 53% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.7% to 76.75% over the past few years.

While Orlo Vista Elementary has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $9,640 in 2019-2020 to $14,183 in 2022-2023, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The presence of Florida Virtual Elementary School, a high-performing virtual school option within the same geographic area, provides an interesting contrast and suggests that addressing the specific challenges and implementing effective practices from nearby higher-performing schools could be crucial in improving Orlo Vista Elementary's overall performance and providing a high-quality education for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
