Summary

Eustis Elementary School is a public school in Eustis, FL, serving 422 students in grades PK-5, with over half of its students (55.92%) eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage in the community.

Eustis Elementary has experienced a notable academic decline, dropping from a 3-star rating (55th-63rd percentile) between 2015-2018 to a 1-star rating (21st-22nd percentile) for the last three school years. The school's most significant weakness is in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates are dramatically lower than district and state averages across all tested grades—for example, only 29% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA in 2025-2026, the lowest among all nearby schools. However, there is a bright spot in 3rd-grade math, where 63% of students were proficient, close to the state average of 66%. Additionally, 5th-grade science proficiency rebounded to 59% in 2025-2026, matching the district average, suggesting targeted instruction can yield positive results. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 35.5%, higher than the state average of 31.4% and much higher than high-performing nearby schools like Round Lake Charter School (11.6%).

Interestingly, Eustis Elementary spends $13,399 per student—the second-highest among nearby schools—yet achieves low results, while Altoona School, just 8.4 miles away, serves a more disadvantaged population (82.26% free/reduced lunch) with less funding ($9,929 per student) and is a top performer (88th percentile, 4-star). This "Altoona Paradox" suggests that factors like school culture, leadership, and instructional quality can overcome poverty and funding challenges. Eustis Elementary is also located just 1.07 miles from Eustis Heights Elementary School, which shares similar struggles (8th percentile, 40.6% chronic absenteeism), indicating systemic challenges in the immediate community that may require coordinated efforts to address.
