Summary

Lake Trafford Elementary School is a public elementary school in Immokalee, Florida, serving 704 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Lake Trafford Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.4% to 31.4% in recent years, the school's test scores are improving but still lag behind the Collier County and Florida state averages. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Lake Trafford Elementary, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Collier County district, such as Corkscrew Elementary and Estates Elementary, Lake Trafford Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. The nearby Rcma Immokalee Community School, a public charter school, also outperforms Lake Trafford Elementary on several measures, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in meeting the needs of the Immokalee community.
