Summary:
In zip code 32776, there is one elementary school, Sorrento Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in the Sorrento area, which is part of the Lake County school district.
Sorrento Elementary is a high-performing school that has shown remarkable improvement over the past two years. The school's state ranking jumped from the 47th percentile (2-star) in 2023-2024 to the 67th percentile (3-star) in 2025-2026, moving up 468 places in the state rankings. The school excels particularly in mathematics, with 89% of 4th graders proficient in math—24 percentage points higher than both the district and state averages. In the most recent school year, Sorrento outperformed both the Lake County district and the state of Florida in 6 out of 7 tested subjects and grade levels. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 and spends $11,869 per student, with 38.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Despite strong academic performance, there are some areas of concern. The chronic absenteeism rate of 35.5% exceeds the state average of 31.4%, which is unusual for a school achieving above-average test scores. Additionally, 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) is a notable weakness, with only 57% of students proficient compared to the state average of 61%—the only subject where the school fell below the state average. This is particularly interesting because the same cohort scored 71% proficient in 4th-grade ELA the previous year. On a positive note, 5th-grade Science saw a dramatic 15-point improvement, rising from 49% to 64% proficiency, now exceeding the state average.
