Summary

Orange Grove Elementary School is a top-performing public elementary school in Seminole, Florida, serving 424 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 19th out of 67 districts in the state, Orange Grove consistently ranks among the best elementary schools in Florida, with a statewide ranking of 21st out of 2,258 schools.

The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with 91% proficiency in 5th grade Science, 82-91% proficiency in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts, and 87-96% proficiency in 3rd-5th grade Math. These impressive proficiency rates significantly outperform the district and state averages, often by 20-30 percentage points. Compared to nearby schools, Southern Oak Elementary, Blanton Elementary, and others, Orange Grove's academic performance is notably higher, with 19-35 percentage point advantages in 5th grade Science and 10-30 percentage point advantages in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts and Math.

While Orange Grove's academic success is impressive, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.2% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024. This rate is higher than the district average and indicates an area for improvement. However, the school's high level of funding, with $11,683 spent per student in 2023-2024, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, may contribute to its exceptional educational outcomes, which are not solely attributable to socioeconomic factors.

I used to go to Orange Grove and it is the best school ever!! Any parent should send their kid there. I absolutely love it! All the teachers are so nice. To prove how great a school it is, I am now in 8th grade with all honors classes. Close Quote

I have two children at Orange Grove. I love the principal, the teachers, the staff, and the enviornment that Orange Grove provides my children. The parent/teacher involvement there is like no other! Small private school "feel" bundled up in a public school...the best of both worlds! Close Quote
