Summary

South Lake Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Titusville, Florida, serving 446 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Brevard School District, which is ranked 23 out of 67 districts in the state.

South Lake Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Florida, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that significantly exceed the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 83% of 6th-grade students at South Lake Elementary were proficient in ELA, compared to 70% in the district and 60% statewide. The school's academic achievements are noteworthy, with a statewide ranking between 146 and 353 out of over 2,200 schools in the past 5 years. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.0% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Challenger 7 Elementary, Atlantis Elementary, and Enterprise Elementary, South Lake Elementary outperforms them in academic performance. However, some of the nearby schools, such as Mims Elementary and Oak Park Elementary, have significantly higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to their lower academic performance.
