Summary

Spring Lake Elementary School in Altamonte Springs, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 505 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-ranked Seminole County School District, where a large majority of families (84.95%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school shows real signs of progress, climbing from the 20th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026. However, its biggest challenge is a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 32.2%—meaning nearly one in three students misses too much school to learn effectively. This is much higher than nearby schools like Wekiva Elementary School (14.6%) and Sabal Point Elementary School (15.0%), and it likely explains why test scores drop as students get older. For example, 3rd graders score relatively well (62% in English, 64% in math), but by 5th grade, those numbers fall to 56% and 58%, respectively. On a positive note, 5th graders excel in science (67%), and the school outperforms some similar high-poverty peers like Lake Weston Elementary in English.

Compared to other high-poverty schools in the area, Spring Lake holds its own. It beats Altamonte Elementary School in nearly every subject and grade, and it matches or exceeds Forest City Elementary School in 5th-grade science. The school also spends more per student ($11,463) than top-performing neighbors like Sabal Point ($9,653), suggesting the issue isn't a lack of resources but rather how to best support students facing economic hardship. The key to unlocking Spring Lake's potential lies in aggressively tackling attendance, which would likely have the biggest impact on academic growth.

What people are saying

Saturday, May 7, 2016

It is sad to see a school decline so quickly in the last 3 years. It makes one wonder what the county leadership is doing to leave the same principal in place. A definite lack of leadership from both the county AND the principal. Close Quote
