Summary:

Zip code 34788 in Leesburg, Florida, is home to a single elementary school, Treadway Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 5 and is part of the Lake County School District.

Treadway Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its state ranking, moving from the 48th percentile to the 58th percentile over the past three school years. The school's standout strength is in Mathematics, where 4th-grade students achieved an exceptional 80% proficiency rate in the 2025-2026 school year, significantly outpacing both the district and state averages of 65%. Science performance also saw a dramatic 16-point improvement in 5th grade, reaching 66% proficiency and surpassing district and state levels. However, English Language Arts (ELA) results are more mixed, with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at 52% lagging behind the district average of 62%. The school serves a student body where 57.18% are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and it invests $12,250 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1.

Key takeaways for parents include the school's clear excellence in math instruction across all tested grades, contrasted with more volatile ELA scores that suggest an area for potential focus. The school also demonstrates notable year-over-year swings in 5th-grade subjects, such as a 10-point drop in math proficiency alongside a 16-point gain in science. Chronic absenteeism stands at 32.3%, which is better than the district average but remains a concern. Overall, Treadway Elementary is effectively using its resources to achieve strong results in math and science, even while serving a community with above-average poverty levels.
