East Lake Elementary

Q: Is East Lake Elementary a good school?

East Lake Elementary ranks 1101 st of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

East Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving around 500 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, and is part of the Orange County School District.

East Lake Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 39.4% White, 12% African American, 40.6% Hispanic, 2.6% Asian, and 5.2% two or more races - higher than the nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White or Hispanic students. However, the school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 31.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, notably higher than the nearby schools. While East Lake's test scores are generally on par with the district and state averages, they are lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Columbia Elementary and Partin Elementary School.

Over the past several years, East Lake Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from a high of 187 out of 2,029 Florida elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 1,101 out of 2,256 in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite this, the school has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, from $9,698 in 2019-2020 to $11,125 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the spending at some of the nearby schools in the higher-performing Seminole County School District. This suggests that there may be opportunities for East Lake to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools and improve its overall academic performance.

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.
