Summary:
The city of Apopka, Florida is home to 17 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance and other key metrics between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the area.
At the top of the list are Wolf Lake Middle and Wolf Lake Elementary, which rank among the top schools in the state. These schools have exceptional test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and consistently high ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, schools like Lakeville Elementary and Phillis Wheatley Elementary struggle with low test scores and high rates of chronic absenteeism, which appear to be correlated with their high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also highlights the challenges faced by charter and alternative schools in the area, such as Sheeler High Charter and Amikids Orlando, which have much lower academic performance and graduation rates compared to the traditional public schools. Overall, the educational landscape in Apopka, Orange and Seminole counties, reveals both areas of strength and significant room for improvement.
