Summary

Altoona School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Altoona, Florida, with a student population of 262. The school is part of the Lake District, which is ranked 30 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Altoona School has seen its statewide ranking improve over the years, moving from 1403 out of 2182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 503 out of 2258 in 2024-2025, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Altoona School consistently outperforms the Lake District and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores. For example, in 2024-2025, Altoona School had 69% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 55% for the Lake District and the state of Florida. In 3rd-grade English Language Arts, Altoona School had 70% proficiency, compared to 56% for the Lake District and 57% for Florida. However, Altoona School has higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 30.9% to 37.7% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Altoona School generally outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Treadway Elementary, Round Lake Elementary, and Pinecrest Academy Tavares, in test scores, particularly in the areas of Science, English Language Arts, and Mathematics. Additionally, as a public charter school, Altoona School appears to be performing better than some of the traditional public schools in the area, such as Eustis Heights Elementary and Eustis Elementary, which have lower test scores and rankings.
