Summary

William Frangus Elementary is a K-5 school in Orlando, FL, serving 430 students within the Orange school district, and it is showing strong signs of a positive turnaround after years of low performance.

The most exciting news for parents is the school's dramatic improvement. In the 2025-2026 school year, William Frangus jumped to the 42nd percentile in state rankings, earning 2 stars—its highest ranking in over a decade and a 20-percentile-point leap from the previous year. This is the largest single-year improvement among nearby schools, many of which have remained stagnant or declined. For example, while Pine Hills Elementary and Metrowest Elementary continue to struggle, William Frangus's 5th graders achieved a 65% proficiency rate in Math, outperforming the state average (62%) and even surpassing some higher-ranked neighbors like Westpointe Elementary (67%) and Citrus Elementary (58%). This progress is especially impressive given that about 66.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than many surrounding schools.

Despite this positive momentum, there are key challenges to note. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.9% remains a barrier, nearly double that of top-performing neighbors like Thornebrooke Elementary (16.5%). Additionally, 4th-grade Math is a persistent weak spot, with only 40% of students proficient—27 points below the district average. However, the school's high per-pupil spending ($13,756) and recent academic gains suggest that investments are starting to pay off, making William Frangus a school to watch for continued improvement.
