Summary

Rolling Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 513 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Orange County School District.

Academically, Rolling Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Florida elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science significantly below the district and state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.7% to 35.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, Rolling Hills has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, the nearby schools of Lake Weston Elementary, Lake Gem Elementary, and Ridgewood Park Elementary generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. However, the per-student spending and student-teacher ratios at these nearby schools are similar to or higher than those at Rolling Hills Elementary, suggesting that factors other than funding and staffing may be contributing to the performance differences.
