Summary

East Lake Elementary in Orlando, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 432 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, with about half of its students eligible for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically been a strong performer, its recent trajectory shows a decline from a 4-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating, though the most recent data (2025-2026) indicates a slight rebound to the 64th percentile statewide.

One of the school's standout strengths is its 5th-grade science program, where 75% of students achieved proficiency in the latest year, outperforming both the Orange district (67%) and state (60%) averages. However, a significant concern is the "5th Grade Wall" in math: while 3rd graders excel with 72% proficiency, 5th-grade math proficiency drops to just 49%, well below the district's 64%. This pattern suggests that early-grade instruction is effective, but the school struggles to maintain momentum as the curriculum becomes more complex. Nearby Columbia Elementary shows a much smaller drop, with 5th-grade math at 70% compared to 81% in 3rd grade.

East Lake spends a relatively high $13,803 per student, yet this does not translate into top-tier overall performance compared to neighboring schools. For instance, Partin Elementary School in the Seminole district spends less ($10,468) but achieves higher test scores and has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.4%, compared to East Lake's 26.8%. The school's recent uptick in science scores and overall rank suggests positive momentum, and its strong early-grade performance provides a solid foundation to build upon. The key challenge will be replicating that success in upper elementary grades, particularly in math.
