Summary

Altamonte Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Altamonte Springs, Florida, part of the Seminole School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in the state. With 623 students, Altamonte Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Altamonte Elementary faces several key challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 35.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Seminole district average of around 31.4%. The school also lags behind the district and state averages in test scores, with only 47% of 5th graders proficient in science in 2024-2025, compared to 66% in the Seminole district and 55% statewide. Additionally, Altamonte Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.73% to 83.31% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Altamonte Elementary to other nearby schools in the Seminole district, such as Casselberry Elementary and Sabal Point Elementary, it consistently underperforms, with significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. While Altamonte Elementary receives relatively high funding per student, ranging from $9,877 to $11,877, the school's academic struggles suggest that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school may need to explore other strategies to improve student outcomes.

Principal is a jerk, there is no inclusion for disable students and the ESE class works at PRE-K level, even when it has students in different grades. No curriculum for ESE class either. Total mess. Run away! Close Quote

AES used to be such a great school. Current principal has driven it into the ground, and I don't understand why no one will do anything about it. Close Quote
