Summary

Flora Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 1,015 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 57 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flora Ridge Elementary School faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the area. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 37.1%, which is much higher than the Osceola district average of around 31.4%. Academically, the school underperforms the district and state averages in assessments like FAST/English Language Arts, FAST/Math, and Statewide Science/Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 32% in 3rd grade ELA, 39% in 4th grade ELA, and 28% in 5th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 57%, 56%, and 57%, respectively.

When comparing Flora Ridge Elementary to other nearby schools in the Osceola district, such as Thacker Avenue Elementary For International Studies and Highlands Elementary School, it performs significantly worse in academic assessments. Additionally, charter schools in the area, like Renaissance Charter School At Tapestry and Osceola Science Charter School, generally outperform Flora Ridge Elementary in academic assessments, despite serving a similar demographic of students. The high chronic absenteeism rates and high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Flora Ridge Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.

I have two of my children attending Flora Ridge. Its their first year in Flora Ridge and I can tell its the worst school that my kids are attended. We come from Lee vista area and schools there are great. Orange county schools its much much better than osceola. The school staff are very rude and have a horrible attitude with parents and they dont know was going on in the school. School dismissal is terrible.... In overall a gave -0 to this school and the school grade comes from D to C OMG!!! HORRIBLE Close Quote
