Summary

Lake Como School in Orlando, FL, is a public PK-8 school serving 928 students within the Orange County school district, and it stands out as a remarkable turnaround story, climbing from the bottom 9th percentile a decade ago to a solid 61st percentile ranking today.

What truly sets Lake Como apart is its exceptional performance in Algebra 1, where 88% of students scored proficient—a full 25 percentage points higher than both the district and state averages. This strength in math is consistent, with the school maintaining stable academic growth across all grades, unlike nearby schools like Lake Eola Charter and Passport Charter, which see sharp declines in middle school scores. Lake Como also outperforms the state in 5th and 8th-grade science, with 69% and 58% proficiency rates, respectively. While the school faces a common regional challenge—a dip in 7th-grade math proficiency—its overall consistency is a key differentiator from peers like Dover Shores Elementary and Conway Elementary.

Lake Como serves as a stable, high-quality option in a polarized neighborhood, sitting between high-performing, low-poverty schools like Hillcrest Elementary and struggling, high-poverty schools like Ucp Downtown Charter. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 29.8% is better than the district average of 35.2%, and its per-student spending of $13,331 is modest compared to schools like Ucp Osceola Charter School ($23,064), yet its academic outcomes far exceed those with higher spending. This suggests that factors like teaching quality and school culture, rather than raw spending, drive Lake Como’s success.

I have two children at Lake Como and have been very happy. It is a small school, which I love, because it allows me to be very involved and know all the staff and faculty. The school is very welcoming, unlike some of the bigger schools. It has been an A rated school for the last 3 years. More and more neighborhood children are coming to this school as well, which will help keep it getting even better! The teachers are all very dedicated and have such a pride for the school. They have school tours in the spring, which really helped make our decision easy to enroll! Close Quote
