Summary

Eustis Heights Elementary School in Eustis, FL, serves 684 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Lake district, which is ranked 32nd out of 70 districts in Florida.

Eustis Heights is currently facing significant academic challenges, with its state ranking falling from the 37th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 8th percentile in the current school year, placing it in the bottom 10% of all elementary schools in Florida. This makes it the lowest-performing school in its immediate vicinity, dramatically lower than nearby schools like Pinecrest Academy Tavares (83rd percentile) and Round Lake Charter School (94th percentile). Even schools with similar demographics, such as Triangle Elementary (12th percentile) and Tavares Elementary (14th percentile), rank higher. A critical issue is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 40.6%, which is the highest among comparable schools and more than double the rate of high-performing peers like Round Lake Charter (11.6%). This rate has been consistently high for years, suggesting that academic interventions may have limited impact until this foundational problem is addressed.

Interestingly, Eustis Heights spends $14,135 per student, which is the second-highest among its peers, yet this high spending is not translating into high performance. In contrast, Round Lake Charter spends only $8,943 per student and achieves the best academic results, indicating a potential issue with how resources are allocated. A notable contrast exists between Eustis Heights and Eustis Elementary, located just over a mile away, which serves a similar student population but outperforms Eustis Heights in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, in 5th-grade Science, Eustis Elementary (59% proficient) nearly doubles Eustis Heights (30% proficient), highlighting that the challenges at Eustis Heights are likely school-specific rather than purely a function of the community's demographics.
