Summary

Kissimmee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Kissimmee, Florida, part of the Osceola School District. With 792 students enrolled, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past several years, with a current statewide rank of 2099 out of 2258 schools.

Kissimmee Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 34.9% over the past few years, well above state and district averages. Academically, students perform well below state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 33-39% proficient in English Language Arts and Math in 2024-2025, compared to 56-63% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students (50-60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While Kissimmee Elementary spends between $9,432 and $10,883 per student, which is lower than the spending at many nearby schools, the differences in spending do not fully explain the large gaps in academic achievement.

Interestingly, the schools closest to Kissimmee Elementary, such as Pleasant Hill Elementary, Thacker Avenue Elementary, and Highlands Elementary, all have higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall ratings than Kissimmee Elementary. Additionally, the two charter schools in the area, Osceola Science Charter School and Renaissance Charter School at Tapestry, have significantly higher academic achievement and better overall ratings than Kissimmee Elementary and the other nearby public schools.
