Summary:

Longwood, Florida is home to seven public schools within the highly-rated Seminole County Public School District, serving students from elementary through high school with a strong emphasis on elementary education. The standout school in the city is Sabal Point Elementary School, which is the only school to achieve a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the 95th percentile statewide, consistently outperforming its peers. In contrast, Longwood Elementary School is the lowest-performing school with a 3-star rating and a 65th percentile rank, while Rock Lake Middle School stands out as the most consistent middle school, maintaining a 4-star rating and boasting the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the city at just 9.1%.

Key metrics reveal significant disparities across the city. Academic performance varies widely, with elementary schools like Woodlands Elementary School (85th percentile) and Wekiva Elementary School (83rd percentile) performing well, while Milwee Middle School (55th percentile) and Lyman High School (56th percentile) lag behind. Chronic absenteeism averages 18.2% city-wide, well below the state average of 31.4%, though Lyman High School has the highest rate at 27.6%. Spending per student averages $9,852, with Longwood Elementary School receiving the most at $11,057, yet it remains the lowest-performing, while Rock Lake Middle School spends the least at $8,662.

Interesting findings include a "6th Grade Math Anomaly" where all four elementary schools achieved 100% proficiency in 6th-grade math, far exceeding district and state averages, suggesting a highly effective advanced math program. Additionally, middle school math performance diverges sharply: Rock Lake Middle School achieves near-perfect scores on Algebra 1 (94%) and Geometry (98%) EOCs, while Milwee Middle School struggles with grade-level math, particularly in 6th grade (34%) and 8th grade (27%). This indicates that Rock Lake excels at accelerating students into advanced courses, whereas Milwee may need more support for foundational skills.
