Summary

Grassy Lake Elementary School in Minneola, FL, is a large public school serving 1,293 students in grades PK-5 within the Lake County district, and it stands out for its exceptional early-grade math performance and consistent English Language Arts (ELA) scores that significantly exceed both district and state averages.

Grassy Lake’s strongest asset is its math instruction in the early grades. In the 2025-2026 school year, 85% of 3rd graders and 83% of 4th graders were proficient in math, outperforming nearly every nearby school, including the high-performing Cypress Ridge Elementary (91% and 84%) and Pinecrest Lakes Academy (97% and 93%). However, the school experiences a notable "5th grade math slump," with proficiency dropping to 68%—a 17-point decline from 3rd grade. This pattern suggests a need to strengthen upper-elementary math instruction. In ELA, Grassy Lake is consistently strong, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scoring 77%, 67%, and 70% proficient, respectively, which is 10-15 points above the district average. Science is a relative weakness; while 5th grade science scores improved to 65%, they trail behind nearby schools like Pine Ridge Elementary (71%) and Tildenville Elementary (90%).

A growing concern is chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 5.5% in 2019-2020 to 23.3% in 2023-2024. While still better than the district average of 37.7%, this rate is higher than several nearby high-performing schools, such as Cypress Ridge Elementary (9.6%) and Pinecrest Lakes Academy (6.6%). Grassy Lake achieves strong results with moderate per-student spending ($10,711), which is less than some peers but more than charter schools like Pinecrest Lakes Academy ($8,148). The school’s low free/reduced lunch rate (24.52%) reflects a more affluent student body compared to Groveland Elementary (50.81%) and Aurelia M. Cole Academy (43.4%). Overall, Grassy Lake is a solid performer with clear strengths in early math and consistent ELA, but it has opportunities to improve in upper-grade math, science, and addressing absenteeism.
