Summary

Spring Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Altamonte Springs, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 531 students. The school is part of the Seminole County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Spring Lake Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,419 to $11,532 over the past few years, the school's academic performance has been consistently lower than the district and state averages. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 10-20 percentage points below the Seminole County and Florida state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 32.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Seminole County district, such as Wekiva Elementary, Sabal Point Elementary, and Forest City Elementary, Spring Lake Elementary's performance is notably lower, with these schools demonstrating significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.39% to 83.62% at Spring Lake Elementary, suggest that the school may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors that could be impacting student achievement.

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

Staff is very rude and not attentive to childrens needs. I will never refer any parent this school. They have no patience for there students and there car rider procedures are horrible. Close Quote
