Summary

Longwood Elementary School is a public school in Longwood, FL, serving 573 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the high-performing Seminole County district, which ranks in the top 15% of Florida districts.

This school stands out for its exceptional 6th-grade math performance, achieving near-perfect proficiency rates for four consecutive years—a feat that consistently places it at the very top among nearby schools like Lake Mary Elementary and Woodlands Elementary. Longwood also shows strong and improving 5th-grade science scores, outperforming the district average in recent years and outpacing peers such as Altamonte Elementary and Winter Springs Elementary. However, like many schools in the area, Longwood faces a notable challenge with 5th-grade math, where proficiency drops sharply—a pattern seen across the district and state. The school’s chronic absenteeism rate of 21.2% is a concern but is lower than the district and state averages, and it has been improving steadily.

Longwood Elementary is a solid, middle-of-the-pack performer within its competitive peer group, earning a consistent 3-star rating. It excels in English Language Arts, with 5th-grade scores reaching 74% in 2025-2026—the highest among nearby schools—but its math scores, particularly in 5th grade, lag behind. Interestingly, per-student spending and student-teacher ratios do not directly predict performance here; for instance, Choices In Learning Charter achieves top results with lower spending and larger class sizes. Overall, Longwood offers strong literacy instruction and standout math performance in early grades, making it a reliable choice for families seeking a well-rounded elementary education in the Seminole County area.
