Summary

Pine Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Clermont, Florida, serving 733 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lake District, which is ranked 30 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Pine Ridge Elementary's strengths is its performance in science and math proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, 73% of 5th graders were proficient or better in science, compared to 55% for the district and state. In math, 71% of 5th graders were proficient or better, again outpacing the district and state averages of 57%. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency has been more mixed, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students scoring below the district and state averages in recent years. Additionally, Pine Ridge has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.0% to 37.7% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Comparing Pine Ridge Elementary to nearby schools, Pinecrest Lakes Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Pine Ridge and the state in both ELA and math proficiency across all grade levels. Similarly, Grassy Lake Elementary School outperforms Pine Ridge in most subject areas and grade levels. In contrast, Groveland Elementary School has significantly lower test scores compared to Pine Ridge and the state. Despite these differences, the high chronic absenteeism rates appear to be a common issue across the nearby schools.

My children have done great at Pine Ridge. The teachers my kids have had are wonderful. The new principal is doing a good job. The only negative I have this year is that the younger kids playground is not covered. Overall, it's one of the better schools in Clermont. Close Quote
