Summary

Dover Shores Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 385 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Dover Shores Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $14,605, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 36.8%, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 5-15 percentage points below the district and state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.17% to 67.01%, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Blankner K-8 and Lake Como School, Dover Shores Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has also declined, suggesting its performance has been declining relative to other schools in the state. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
