Summary

Sorrento Elementary is a public elementary school located in Sorrento, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 872 students. The school is part of the Lake District, which is ranked 30 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Sorrento Elementary consistently outperforms the Lake District and the state of Florida in various assessments, including FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) for English Language Arts and Math, as well as Statewide Science assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, Sorrento Elementary's proficiency rates in FAST ELA and Math for grades 3-5 were significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the high-performing charter school, Round Lake Elementary, located within the same district, outperforms Sorrento Elementary across these metrics.

While Sorrento Elementary's academic performance is strong, the school faces challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 37.7% over the past few years, which are higher than the state average. The school's moderate free and reduced lunch rates, higher per-student spending, and lower student-teacher ratio suggest it is well-resourced, but the high chronic absenteeism rates indicate potential areas for improvement.
