Summary

St. Cloud Elementary School is a public school in Saint Cloud, FL, serving 721 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Osceola district, and it stands out as a strong academic performer in an area where many nearby schools face greater challenges.

This school is a clear academic leader in its neighborhood, consistently outperforming most of its closest peers. For example, in 3rd grade math, 83% of students are proficient—the highest among all nearby elementary schools and well above the district average of 60%. Similarly, 3rd grade ELA scores hit 76% proficiency, tied for the top spot with East Lake Elementary School. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is significantly better than the district average of 34.9% and lower than many neighbors like Neptune Elementary School (33.1%) and Partin Settlement Elementary School (31.2%). While the highest-performing school in the area is Canoe Creek K-8, a K-8 model that keeps students through middle school, St. Cloud Elementary is a bright spot in a district that ranks in the 19th percentile statewide, showing that school-specific factors like leadership and teaching are driving its success.

One interesting pattern is that test scores tend to peak in 3rd grade and then drop in 4th and 5th grades—a trend seen across the district. At St. Cloud Elementary, 3rd grade math proficiency is 83%, but by 5th grade it falls to 59%. This suggests the school may need to strengthen its upper-grade curriculum or support. On a positive note, the school has shown a clear upward trend, rebounding from the 46th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 66th percentile for 2025-2026, while some nearby schools like Lakeview Elementary School have seen more fluctuation. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch dropped sharply from 60.42% to 46.19% in one year, which may reflect changing demographics in the area.
