Summary

Lake St. George Elementary School in Palm Harbor, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 499 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, part of the highly-rated Pinellas County School District, and has earned a 5-star rating for the upcoming school year.

This school stands out for its remarkable academic growth and consistent excellence. Over the past decade, Lake St. George has climbed from the 71st to the 92nd percentile in state rankings, a 21-point jump that outpaces many nearby high-performing schools like Sutherland Elementary, which has remained steady. A true differentiator is its outstanding 5th-grade science performance, with 88% of students proficient—18 points above the district average and 28 points above the state average, making it the top science school among comparable neighbors, even surpassing Elisa Nelson Elementary. The school also excels in math, maintaining high proficiency rates across all grades (81% in 3rd, 85% in 4th, and 85% in 5th), a stability that contrasts with schools like Leila Davis Elementary, where 5th-grade scores drop. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 16.2%, far below the district's 30.6% and state's 31.4%, signaling strong student engagement.

Lake St. George achieves these results efficiently, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.8—higher than some peers like San Jose Elementary (12.0) and Academie Da Vinci Charter School (11.5)—suggesting effective instructional methods. It also serves a moderately diverse socioeconomic population, with 34% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet outperforms many schools with less economic disadvantage. For parents, this school offers a strong upward trend and a proven track record in science and math, making it a standout choice for foundational elementary education in the Palm Harbor area.
