Summary:
The city of Apopka, Florida is home to 18 schools serving grades PK-12, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 5 high schools. These schools are part of the Orange County school district, which is ranked 32 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
A few schools stand out in the data, including Kelly Park School, a PK-8 school that ranks in the top 400 elementary schools in Florida and has 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It has particularly strong test scores, with 81-98% proficiency in Algebra 1, Geometry, Civics, and 5th grade Science. Wolf Lake Elementary and Wolf Lake Middle also stand out for their impressive test scores and rankings. On the other hand, Sheeler High Charter, Amikids Orlando, and Randall Academy appear to be the lowest performing schools in the data set.
Overall, the data reveals a wide range in school performance across Apopka, with some high-performing standouts but also several struggling schools. Addressing the uniformly high 31.4% chronic absenteeism rate and the correlation between poverty and academic achievement seem to be key priorities for the district. The two magnet high schools, Apopka High and Wekiva High, perform better than the district average on test scores, though they still have room for improvement.
