Summary

Longwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Longwood, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 612 students. The school is part of the Seminole School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, Longwood Elementary's academic performance is lagging behind. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.2% in 2020-2021 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the Seminole district and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 3-12 percentage points lower than the district and state in 2024-2025. Longwood Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.1% to 64.22% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Choices In Learning Charter and Woodlands Elementary, Longwood Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 503 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 949 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Longwood Elementary School.
