Summary

Oldsmar Elementary School in Oldsmar, FL, is a public school serving 473 students in grades PK-5 within the Pinellas County School District, and it stands out for its consistent academic excellence and efficient use of resources. The school has earned a 4-star rating for six of the last seven years and has shown a strong upward trajectory in its state ranking, moving from the 64th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 84th percentile in the most recent 2025-2026 ranking. This performance is particularly impressive given that 39.11% of its students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the school spends just $13,258 per student—the lowest among its nearby peers—yet achieves results that often surpass those of schools with higher spending.

Academically, Oldsmar Elementary consistently outperforms both district and state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the most recent testing year, 85% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to 72% district-wide and 65% statewide, while 5th graders achieved 77% proficiency in ELA and 74% in science. Math is a clear strength, with scores significantly above district averages in every grade. This is a stark contrast to nearby Forest Lakes Elementary, which is just 0.61 miles away and spends $2,000 more per student but has lower proficiency rates and a lower state ranking (68th percentile). Similarly, Curlew Creek Elementary has seen its ranking drop from the 89th to the 77th percentile, while Oldsmar continues to climb.

However, the school faces a notable challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.4% in 2023-2024, which is the highest among its Pinellas County comparison schools, though still lower than the district (30.6%) and state (31.4%) averages. This suggests that while the school is highly effective for students who attend regularly, a significant portion of the student body is missing substantial instructional time. Despite this, Oldsmar Elementary’s ability to achieve strong results while serving a more diverse socioeconomic population than many nearby schools—such as Bryant Elementary in Hillsborough County, which has only 10.33% free/reduced lunch—highlights its instructional effectiveness and resource management.
