Triangle Elementary School

Summary:

Triangle Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Dora, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 783 students. The school is part of the Lake District, which is ranked 32 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Triangle Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 29.89% White, 24.39% African American, and 40.23% Hispanic, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 39.5% compared to the Lake District average of 26.4% and the state average of 34.2%. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA, 4th grade ELA, and 5th grade Math significantly lower than the Lake District averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.73%, which is higher than many nearby schools.

While Triangle Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking of 1837 out of 2256 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Nearby schools, such as Round Lake Elementary School and Pinecrest Academy Tavares, perform significantly better than Triangle Elementary School on various metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Triangle Elementary School may be reflective of broader issues within the Lake District.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
