Summary

Shenandoah Elementary is a mid-sized public school in the Conway area of Orlando, FL, serving 403 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Orange County Public School District.

Shenandoah is a school on a strong upward trajectory, having rebounded significantly from a low point in the 2022-2023 school year. Its state ranking has climbed 22 percentile points in just two years, now sitting at the 49th percentile. This recovery is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Conway Elementary and Michael McCoy Elementary, which have seen their rankings decline over the same period. The school’s standout strength is 5th-grade science, where 67% of students are proficient—matching the district average and exceeding the state average by 7 points. This outperforms most nearby schools, with only Vista Pointe Elementary and Cornerstone Academy Charter scoring higher. Additionally, 3rd-grade math is a bright spot, with 67% proficiency, tied with the district average and well above Three Points Elementary (49%) and Michael McCoy Elementary (49%).

However, the school faces a significant challenge in 4th-grade math, where proficiency drops sharply to 46%—21 points below the district average and 19 points below the state average. This "4th-grade slump" is more severe here than at any nearby school. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism, which peaked at 34.9% in 2021-2022, has improved to 29.5% and is now below the district average for the first time. While per-student spending is high at $15,643, academic outcomes lag behind higher-performing peers like Pershing School ($11,324 per student), suggesting that strategic resource allocation—particularly toward 4th-grade math—could be key to continuing the school’s promising turnaround.

Open Quote Pass this school right along! Shady administrative staff that actively protects male teachers that act inappropriately with students and refuses to take parent concerns seriously. Shenandoah will not notfiy parents of an OCPS and DCF investigation and allowed this teacher back to school. Beware! If you express any concerns the administrative staff will treat you like a pariah and nuisance. Shenandoah and OCPS care more about their unfit staff and reputation than your kids! Close Quote
