Summary

Dommerich Elementary in Maitland, FL, serves 611 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is a standout institution within the Orange school district, consistently ranking in the top 28 out of over 2,200 elementary schools in Florida for the past six years.

Dommerich is an academic powerhouse that dramatically outperforms its neighbors. In the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates across all subjects and grades ranged from 82% to 94%, which is 20 to 40 percentage points higher than nearby schools like Brookshire Elementary and Lakemont Elementary, and 40 to 50 points higher than schools like Hungerford Elementary or Aloma Elementary. For example, 4th-grade Math proficiency at Dommerich is 94%, compared to 76% at Lakemont and 73% at Brookshire. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.2%, which is less than one-fifth the rate of the Orange County district (35.2%) and the state of Florida (31.4%).

Interestingly, Dommerich spends significantly less per student than its peers—$11,155 per student compared to $12,000 to $16,590 at other nearby schools—yet achieves superior outcomes, likely due to strong community support. While many schools in the area experience a sharp decline in 5th-grade Math proficiency, Dommerich maintains an exceptionally high rate of 88%, proving its curriculum is uniquely effective at keeping students on track through the upper elementary grades. Even compared to top-performing schools from the Seminole district, such as Casselberry Elementary School (which has 89% 3rd-grade Math proficiency), Dommerich still surpasses them at 92%.

Dommerich is a fantastic school. Top to bottom, the staff, volunteers and parents clearly care about the students and their education. I went there 30 years ago and moved specifically so my child could go there. You will not find a better Elementary School in Orange County. Close Quote
