Summary

Wekiva Elementary School is a public elementary school in Longwood, Florida, serving 818 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Seminole County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Wekiva Elementary consistently outperforms the Seminole County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with 81% of 3rd graders proficient or better in FAST English Language Arts compared to 69% in Seminole County and 57% statewide. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.6% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern. Wekiva Elementary also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 36.67% in 2023-2024, and its spending per student ($9,203) is lower than nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Sabal Point Elementary is the highest-performing in the area, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently strong test scores. This suggests that Wekiva Elementary may be able to learn from Sabal Point's best practices. Additionally, while Wekiva Elementary outperforms other Seminole County schools, it generally performs better than the nearby schools in the Orange County district.

We moved to Florida because of out gifted daughter.
In KY they did not provide anything special for gifted 2nd graders.
I do not know about the non gifted classes but our experience has been wonderful.
After our 2nd year at Wekiva, I am even more impressed with the school.
Our daughter loves her teachers. The only complaint is the PTA is very un-organized. Close Quote

Purchased a home in the Wekiva area after reading the some of the excellent reviews on this elementary school. My son's kindergarten and 1st grade experience thus far have been deplorable. A complete disappointment. We will be relocating for the 2012/2013 just so that my son does not have to attend this school again. Close Quote
