Summary:
Fruitland Park, Florida is home to a single public elementary school, Fruitland Park Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, is consistently below the district-wide Lake and state-level averages.
Fruitland Park Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 47.07% White, 25.92% African American, 17.46% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, and multi-racial students. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.2% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its academic underperformance.
Despite the school's access to adequate resources, as evidenced by its per-student spending of $10,547 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.5, the academic data suggests that these resources are not being effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the diverse student population. The school may benefit from a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, attendance policies, and resource allocation to identify and address the root causes of its academic challenges.
