Summary

West Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 470 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.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending, West Oaks Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 24.8% to 35.8%, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, West Oaks Elementary lags behind the district and state in academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 36-53% compared to 57-63% for the district and state. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78-81%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Pine Hills Elementary, Orlo Vista Elementary, and Pinewood Elementary generally perform better than West Oaks Elementary across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. Despite the higher per-student spending, West Oaks Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or other key metrics over time, indicating that the current strategies and interventions may not be effectively addressing the school's challenges.
