Summary

Sanders Memorial Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Land O' Lakes, Florida, serving 861 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 40th out of 67 districts in the state.

Sanders Memorial Elementary consistently outperforms the Pasco District and the state of Florida in academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, 78% of 3rd graders, 78% of 4th graders, and 72% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 57%, 54%, and 53% respectively for the Pasco District and the state. In math, 85% of 3rd graders, 77% of 4th graders, and 74% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to 58%, 49%, and 52% for the Pasco District and 63%, 62%, and 57% for the state. The school also excels in science, with 66% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 49% for the Pasco District and 55% for the state.

When compared to nearby schools in the Pasco District, Sanders Memorial Elementary outperforms most of them in academic assessments, with the exception of Imagine School at Land O' Lakes, a public charter school that also performs very well. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 15.68% in 2023-2024, suggests it serves a more affluent population, which may contribute to its high academic performance. Additionally, Sanders Memorial Elementary spends more per student than the Pasco District average, which may also be a factor in its success.
