Summary

Groveland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 735 students in grades PK-5 in Groveland, Florida, which is part of the Lake District. While the district is ranked 30 out of 67 in the state and has a 3-star rating, Groveland Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Groveland Elementary's academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 40% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 56% in the district and 57% statewide. The school's math proficiency rates are also lower, with only 45% of 3rd graders and 31% of 5th graders meeting proficiency. Despite spending more per student ($12,160 in 2023-2024) than the district and state averages, the school's performance remains well below par. Nearby Imagine Schools at South Lake, Pinecrest Lakes Academy, and Minneola Conversion Charter School significantly outperform Groveland Elementary in test scores and other metrics.

Groveland Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 1,527 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 2,023 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school is falling behind its peers. Addressing the challenges at Groveland Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to improve student engagement, instructional quality, and resource allocation.

Be wary of this schools administration! Very unprofessional, aggressive, verbally threatening staff mainly the Dean but other staff bare witness and allow his intimidation. Close Quote
