Summary

Seminole Science Charter School is a K-8 public charter school in Lake Mary, FL, serving 547 students within the highly-rated Seminole school district, and it consistently ranks among the top 10% of elementary schools in Florida.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math and science, far exceeding district and state averages. For example, 87% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 66% in the district, and an impressive 95% are proficient in Geometry versus 63% district-wide. This STEM-focused curriculum also yields strong results in Biology and Civics. Unlike many nearby schools, Seminole Science maintains high proficiency rates across all grade levels in both English Language Arts and Math, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at 92% and 8th-grade ELA at 86%. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate (14%) that is roughly half the state average, indicating strong student engagement. Notably, while many traditional schools in the area, such as Crystal Lake Elementary School and Lake Mary Elementary School, experience a sharp drop in 5th-grade math proficiency, Seminole Science successfully mitigates this slump, with 85% of its 5th graders still scoring proficient.

Operating more efficiently than its peers, the school spends $8,449 per student—significantly less than nearby traditional schools like Longwood Elementary School ($11,057) and Winter Springs Elementary School ($11,359)—while achieving superior academic results. The only nearby school that matches its performance is Choices In Learning Charter, another high-performing charter, creating a competitive educational ecosystem in the area. While Seminole Science’s state ranking has slightly declined from its peak of 51st in 2017-2018 to 171st currently, it remains an excellent choice for families seeking a rigorous, STEM-focused education with a proven track record of high achievement and efficient resource use.
