Summary

Rock Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 308 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 67 districts in the state.

Rock Lake Elementary has had fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 462 out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year (rated 4 stars) to 2,040 out of 2,247 in the 2020-2021 school year (rated 0 stars). However, the school consistently outperforms the Orange County and Florida state averages in various subject areas and grade levels, such as having 74% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 62% for the county and 55% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 13.5 in recent years, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Rock Lake Elementary outperforms nearby schools like Washington Shores Elementary, Lake Silver Elementary, and Princeton Elementary in test scores, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.47% to 85.95% in recent years. Addressing these underlying factors could further improve the school's overall performance.
