Summary

Lena Vista Elementary School is a public elementary school in Auburndale, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with 963 students. The school is part of the Polk School District, which is ranked 61 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lena Vista Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating over the past several years.

Lena Vista Elementary stands out for its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 46.5% in recent years, significantly higher than state and district averages. The school also consistently underperforms the Polk district and Florida state averages on test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Lena Vista's proficiency rates were 31% in 5th grade science, 38% in 3rd-5th grade ELA, and 29-51% in 3rd-5th grade math, compared to state averages of 55%, 56-57%, and 57-63% respectively. Additionally, Lena Vista has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.1% to 74.35%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Lena Vista Elementary to nearby schools, such as Berkley Elementary, a public charter school just a few miles away, Lena Vista consistently underperforms on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. Berkley Elementary, for instance, has significantly higher proficiency rates ranging from 64-93% in 2024-2025, compared to Lena Vista's 29-51%. Despite the challenges faced by Lena Vista Elementary, the school has maintained its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, indicating a lack of meaningful improvement in student outcomes during this time period.
