Summary

East Lake Elementary School in Kissimmee, FL, is a public school serving 821 students in grades PK-5 within the Osceola County School District, and it has recently shown a remarkable turnaround, jumping to the 61st percentile statewide and earning a 3-star rating after years of lower performance.

This school stands out as the top-performing school among its immediate Osceola County neighbors. For example, while nearby schools like Cypress Elementary School and Ventura Elementary School rank in the 19th to 36th percentile, East Lake has surged ahead. Its 3rd-grade students are particularly strong, with 75% proficient in English Language Arts and 74% in Math—far exceeding district averages. The school also shows consistent math strength across all grades, with 4th graders achieving a 78% proficiency rate, outpacing the district by 22 points. However, it is important to note that schools just a few miles away in the Orange County district, such as Laureate Park Elementary (98th percentile) and Eagle Creek Elementary (87th percentile), operate in a higher-resource environment with significantly lower rates of economic disadvantage.

Despite its academic gains, East Lake faces two key challenges. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue, with a rate of 29.6%—nearly three times higher than that of nearby Laureate Park Elementary. Additionally, 5th-grade science proficiency (50%) remains below the state average (60%), presenting an opportunity for growth. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and per-student spending slightly above its peers, East Lake is a school on the rise, demonstrating that strong foundational programs in early grades can drive significant improvement even within a lower-ranked district.
