Summary

Chickasaw Elementary is a public school in Orlando, FL, serving 551 students in grades PK-5 within the Orange district, where 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most significant challenge facing Chickasaw Elementary is a high rate of chronic absenteeism, which directly impacts academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, 39.8% of students were chronically absent, a rate notably higher than nearby Azalea Park Elementary (30.1%) and Pinar Elementary (32.9%). This attendance crisis appears to be a primary driver of the school's inconsistent test scores. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency dropped from 58% in 2023-2024 to just 33% in 2025-2026. While the school has shown a "bright spot" in 5th grade science, outperforming the state in 2023-2024, that advantage has since eroded. It is worth noting that Chickasaw spends $14,385 per student, which is comparable to or higher than several higher-performing neighbors, indicating that funding is not the core issue.

Interestingly, Azalea Park Elementary, located just 1.77 miles away and serving a similar demographic, achieves far more stable results with a 49th percentile state ranking compared to Chickasaw's 13th percentile. This contrast highlights that success is possible in this community, and that Chickasaw's path to improvement likely hinges on aggressive, community-based efforts to improve daily attendance. The school's nearest neighbor, Engelwood Elementary, faces similar struggles, suggesting these are systemic challenges in the immediate area rather than issues isolated to one school's leadership.
