Summary

Astatula Elementary School is a public school in the small town of Astatula, Florida, serving 656 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Lake district.

This school has experienced a significant decline in its state ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year. This downward trend sets it apart from nearby schools like Pinecrest Lakes Academy (5 stars) and Grassy Lake Elementary (4 stars), which have maintained stable or improving performance. A key factor appears to be chronic absenteeism, which was 26.4% in 2022-2023—much higher than the 6.6% rate at Pinecrest Lakes Academy. Academic performance is also inconsistent across grade levels; for example, 5th graders scored a strong 62% in Math in 2023-2024, while 3rd graders that same year scored only 41%. This suggests that student success may depend heavily on the specific teacher or class cohort rather than a consistent school-wide system.

Despite these challenges, there is a bright spot in 5th-grade Science, where Astatula has consistently outperformed the district and state averages. The school spends $11,018 per student, which is more than some higher-performing peers like Pinecrest Lakes Academy ($8,148) but less than other struggling schools in the area, such as Eustis Heights Elementary ($14,135). This spending paradox suggests that the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather how resources are used. The high chronic absenteeism rate is likely the root cause of the school's academic struggles, as it disrupts classroom continuity and makes it difficult for instructional improvements to take hold. Until this issue is addressed, the school may continue to face challenges in raising its performance.
