Summary

Wolf Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Apopka, Florida, serving 658 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Orange County School District. The school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking among the top 25% of elementary schools in Florida.

Wolf Lake Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates that consistently outpace the Orange County and Florida averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 74% in 3rd grade ELA, 82% in 4th grade Math, and 75% in 5th grade Science, compared to the county averages of 59%, 64%, and 62%, respectively. The school's performance is especially noteworthy in Mathematics, with proficiency rates exceeding the state and district averages by 10-15 percentage points across all grade levels.

While Wolf Lake Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, the school has faced challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and district averages, ranging from 17.8% to 35.8% over the past few years. This is an area of concern, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Kelly Park School, have also demonstrated strong performance, while others, like Lovell Elementary and Phillis Wheatley Elementary, have lower performance metrics and ratings. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and continuing to invest in the school's resources could help Wolf Lake Elementary maintain its academic excellence and support student success.
