Summary

Mollie Ray Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 420 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 and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mollie Ray Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student achievement. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 38.0%, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Mollie Ray's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 50%, compared to 62% for the district and 55% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.71% to 88.94%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Mollie Ray Elementary's performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, it is also lower than many of the nearby schools in the same district, such as Ivey Lane Elementary, Orlo Vista Elementary, and West Oaks Elementary. These nearby schools, while still facing challenges, tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
