Summary

Pinewood Elementary in Orlando, FL, is a public school serving 497 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Orange district, where 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has been on a clear upward trajectory, transforming from a historically low-performing school to one showing consistent improvement, with a 2-star rating for three consecutive years and a state ranking that has climbed from the 9th percentile in 2019 to the 30th percentile in 2025-2026.

One of the most impressive achievements at Pinewood is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 49% in 2021-2022 to just 20% in 2023-2024—now the lowest rate among all nearby schools and far better than the district average of 35%. The school also shines in 4th-grade math, where 66% of students are proficient, matching the state average and outperforming nearby schools like Pine Hills Elementary (37%) and Hiawassee Elementary (56%). However, English Language Arts scores lag behind math, with an average proficiency of 46% compared to 57% in math, indicating a key area for continued focus.

Pinewood invests heavily in its students, spending $14,812 per student—significantly more than many peers like Prairie Lake Elementary ($11,183) and West Oaks Elementary ($11,178). While this investment is paying off, nearby Mollie Ray Elementary—with similar spending and poverty rates—has made an even larger leap to the 76th percentile, offering a benchmark for what's possible. In a neighborhood where six of nine nearby schools rank in the bottom 30% of Florida elementary schools, Pinewood's steady progress makes it a relative bright spot and a potential model for improving attendance and math achievement.
