Summary:

East Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 918 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in the state.

East Lake Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (65.8%) compared to the state average (23.6%) and the nearby schools, such as Cypress Elementary School and Partin Settlement Elementary School. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.9% in 2019-2020 to 31.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the nearby schools. However, East Lake Elementary's test scores, while generally below the state and district averages, show some areas of strength, such as 61% of 5th-grade students being proficient or better in FAST/English Language Arts, which is higher than the Osceola district (46%) and the state (55%) averages.

Compared to the nearby schools in the same district, East Lake Elementary generally performs below them in terms of test scores and SchoolDigger rankings. However, it is worth noting that the nearby schools also struggle, with most of them being rated 1 or 2 stars by SchoolDigger. Additionally, East Lake Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.36% to 46.18% over the past three years, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $8,352 in 2019-2020 to $10,561 in 2022-2023, and has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.2 to 15.7 over the past three years.

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.
