Best Public Schools in Zellwood, FL


Summary:

The city of Zellwood, Florida has only one public elementary school, Zellwood Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 493 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces some academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, which fall below the Orange County and Florida averages.

Zellwood Elementary's standout performance is in science, with a 5th-grade proficiency rate of 68%, which is higher than the Orange County (61%) and Florida (53%) averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% is a significant concern, and its statewide ranking has been declining over the past few years, dropping from 1686 out of 2219 Florida elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1162 out of 2256 in 2023-2024.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($12,095) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (16.4), Zellwood Elementary is still struggling academically, particularly in ELA and Math. This may indicate a need to re-evaluate the allocation and utilization of resources to better support student learning and address the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate.
