Summary

The Villages Elementary Of Lady Lake School is a public elementary school in Lady Lake, FL, serving 740 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Lake district.

This school stands out as a strong academic leader in its immediate area, especially in science, where 72% of 5th graders were proficient—12 points above both the district and state averages. It also has a history of strong math performance, with recent years showing proficiency rates well above the district. Compared to nearby schools like Leesburg Elementary and Beverly Shores Elementary, which struggle significantly, The Villages Elementary is a clear "bright spot." It also achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,058) than many of its peers, suggesting efficient use of resources.

However, the school faces notable challenges. Its overall ranking has declined from a 4-star school in the 74th-80th percentile (2015-2019) to a 3-star school at the 50th percentile. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which has risen sharply to 35.6%—higher than the state average and a significant jump from pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency has dropped suddenly, particularly in 4th grade, falling from 66% to 55% in one year. While the school remains a top performer locally, addressing these issues will be key to reversing its downward trend and returning to its former high standing.
