Summary

Red Bug Elementary School in Casselberry, FL, serves 811 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly-rated Seminole County School District, though it has recently dropped from a consistent 4-star rating to a 3-star rating for the 2023-2024 through 2025-2026 school years.

Red Bug has a history of strong performance, but a notable decline in upper-grade math is a key concern. While 78% of 3rd graders were proficient in both ELA and math in the 2025-2026 school year—outperforming district and state averages—only 37% of 5th graders were proficient in math, far below the district average of 52% and the state average of 62%. This "fade-out" effect is more pronounced at Red Bug than at nearby schools like Rainbow Elementary School (64% 5th-grade math proficiency) and Keeth Elementary School (57%). The school also faces a growing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 5.4% in 2019-2020 to 23.1% in 2023-2024, though this is still better than the district average of 25.3%.

Despite these challenges, Red Bug operates efficiently, spending $9,467 per student—significantly less than nearby schools like Eastbrook Elementary School ($11,875) and Winter Springs Elementary School ($11,359). The school is surrounded by a competitive mix of high-performing schools, including Choices In Learning Charter and Casselberry Elementary School, which has a 4-star rating. For parents, the most urgent area to investigate is the school's approach to 5th-grade math instruction, as this is a systemic issue that needs attention to help Red Bug regain its former top-tier status.
