Summary

Tangelo Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 492 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.

Tangelo Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 48.3% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Tangelo Park's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are around 35-40%, compared to 57-63% for the district and state. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 78.66% to 82.71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

In contrast, nearby schools like Bay Meadows Elementary and Dr. Phillips Elementary have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Tangelo Park Elementary, ranging from $11,050 to $15,913 in recent years, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach targeting the root causes of the school's underperformance may be necessary.

My child goes here. I can honestly say that I am in awe of the schools renovation. I know it's been a "A" school for a while. My child personally loves it there. The teachers are passionate and encourage parents to their part also. Which in my opinion is great. The principal is a great woman who is bilingual and very understanding. The school is genuinely a warm safe place. The neighborhood used to be bad but it has changed over past decade. It is a great neighborhood now and has been sponsored by Mr. Harris Rosen for a while. I highly recommend any parent who wants exceptional education for their child to tangelo park elementary. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe me. Based on the record the neighborhood had it can be a bit unbelievable how night and day this neighborhood has transformed.and the school essentially Close Quote
