Summary

Eccleston Elementary is a K-5 public school in Orlando, FL, serving 354 students within the Orange school district, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Eccleston has experienced a dramatic academic turnaround, jumping from the 14th percentile in Florida elementary school rankings to the 47th percentile in a single year—its highest ranking in a decade. This improvement is broad-based, with 4th Grade Math proficiency rising from 33% to 62% and 4th Grade ELA from 26% to 52%. The school spends $15,707 per student and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1, the lowest among nearby peers like Catalina Elementary and Millennia Gardens Elementary. However, chronic absenteeism remains a persistent challenge at 38.8%, higher than the district and state averages, and well above the 22.7% rate at nearby Legends Academy Charter.

Interestingly, Rock Lake Elementary, just 2.25 miles away, serves a nearly identical high-poverty population but has long been a top-tier school (82nd percentile) with exceptional test scores, such as 88% in 5th Grade Science. This shows that high poverty does not preclude high performance, and Eccleston’s recent surge suggests it may be adopting similar successful strategies. While Orlando Science Charter serves a lower-poverty population and excels, Eccleston is now outperforming Legends Academy Charter (47th vs. 37th percentile) while serving a more disadvantaged student body. The key question is whether this year’s success marks the start of a sustained upward trend, with Rock Lake providing a clear example of what is possible in this community.
