Summary

Crystal Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lake Mary, Florida, serving 688 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Seminole County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in the state.

While Crystal Lake Elementary School is part of a highly-ranked school district, it appears to be underperforming compared to some of its nearby counterparts. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Seminole County and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low 5th-grade math proficiency at 21% compared to 46% for Seminole County and 57% for Florida. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.7% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby Highlands Elementary and Woodlands Elementary schools.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Crystal Lake Elementary School, ranging from 47.53% to 49.17% over the past three school years, suggests that the school may have a higher proportion of students from lower-income families, which could be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 373rd out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,023rd out of 2,258 in 2024-2025, indicates that the school may be facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
