Summary

Lake St. George Elementary School is a public elementary school in Palm Harbor, Florida, serving 572 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 19th out of 67 districts in the state.

The school consistently performs above the Pinellas County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, with 85% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 67% for the county and 55% for the state. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.2% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.9% to 39.5% over the past three school years.

Compared to nearby schools, Ozona Elementary School and Discovery Academy of Science consistently outperform Lake St. George Elementary in academic metrics, while Elisa Nelson Elementary, a public magnet school, is one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state. Despite the school's increased per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance gap with these top-performing schools suggests a need for further analysis and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to student success.
