Summary

Lakemont Elementary is a K-5 public school in Winter Park, FL, serving 629 students within the Orange County School District, and it has earned a solid reputation as a consistently above-average school in a region where performance can vary dramatically.

Lakemont’s standout strength is its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) performance, which rivals top-tier schools in the area. For example, its 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 77% is higher than Baldwin Park Elementary’s 70% and nearly matches Dommerich Elementary’s 82%. This academic success is notable given the school’s moderate socioeconomic profile, with 35.45% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch—a middle ground between affluent schools like Dommerich (10.31%) and higher-poverty schools like Hungerford Elementary (76.16%). Lakemont also stands out for its remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 30.7% in 2021-2022 to 23.1% in 2023-2024, far better than the district average of 35.2%.

However, a consistent pattern of concern is a significant drop in math proficiency between 4th and 5th grade, which has persisted for at least four years—for instance, 4th-grade math at 76% dropped to 65% in 2025-2026. This is not a district-wide issue, suggesting a challenge specific to 5th-grade math instruction at Lakemont. Nearby schools offer interesting contrasts: Brookshire Elementary, just 1.17 miles away, has similar demographics and performance (72nd percentile), while Aloma Elementary, only 1.39 miles away, has a higher poverty rate and much lower performance (33rd percentile). Lakemont’s spending per student ($12,102) is in the middle of the pack, and its strong results suggest effective resource allocation rather than a larger budget.
