Summary

Sterling Park Elementary School in Casselberry, FL, serves about 700 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the highly-ranked Seminole County School District, which is ranked 8th out of 70 districts in Florida. The school has a moderately diverse student body, with over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it has consistently earned a 3-star rating from the state in recent years.

A standout strength at Sterling Park is its 3rd-grade performance, where 74% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 79% in Math in the 2025-2026 school year—scores that actually exceed the district average. This is a bright spot compared to nearby schools like Winter Springs Elementary School (54% ELA, 55% Math) and English Estates Elementary School (67% ELA, 64% Math), which trail significantly in this grade. However, the school faces a concerning "3rd to 5th grade slide": by 5th grade, only 29% of students are proficient in math, far below the district average of 52% and the state average of 62%. This pattern suggests a systemic issue in the upper elementary grades that the school's leadership should investigate.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism at Sterling Park is a relative strength at 19.7%, which is better than the district (25.3%) and state (31.4%) averages, and notably lower than nearby schools like Winter Springs Elementary (25.2%) and English Estates Elementary (25.8%). The school also spends more per student ($11,160) than high-performing neighbors like Rainbow Elementary School ($10,398) and Keeth Elementary School ($10,058), indicating that financial resources are not the primary barrier to improving academic outcomes, especially in 5th-grade math.
