Summary

Lake Mary Elementary School is a public school in Lake Mary, FL, serving 881 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Seminole district, which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. This school offers a stable, middle-of-the-pack option for families, consistently earning 3 or 4 stars over the past decade and ranking in the 64th percentile among Florida elementary schools. With about 49% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school reflects moderate economic diversity and has a student-teacher ratio of 14.8:1, in line with district averages.

The most notable academic trend at Lake Mary Elementary is a significant drop in 5th-grade math proficiency, which has been consistently lower than 3rd and 4th grade scores over the past four years. In the most recent year, only 36% of 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to 68% in 3rd grade and 69% in 4th grade—a gap of over 30 percentage points. This score is 26 points below both the district and state averages, and it is the lowest among nearby peer schools like Crystal Lake Elementary (39%) and Longwood Elementary (48%). However, the school excels in advanced math, with 6th-grade students (likely taking higher-level courses) scoring 94% proficiency, far above district and state averages. This contrast suggests strong support for advanced learners but a potential gap in the general 5th-grade math curriculum.

Compared to nearby schools, Lake Mary Elementary stands out for its lower chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1%, which is better than the district average of 25.3% and significantly lower than schools like Idyllwilde Elementary (36.3%) and Pine Crest Elementary (32.6%). While it doesn't reach the heights of the top-performing Seminole Science Charter School (ranked 171st), it performs well above higher-poverty neighbors like Wicklow Elementary and Pine Crest. For families seeking a dependable neighborhood school with a strong district and consistent performance, Lake Mary Elementary is a solid choice, though the school's administration should focus on addressing the persistent 5th-grade math challenges.
