Seminole Springs Elementary School

Q: Is Seminole Springs Elementary School a good school?

Seminole Springs Elementary School ranks 1196 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Seminole Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eustis, Florida, serving 479 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Lake District, which is ranked 32 out of 68 districts in the state and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Seminole Springs has a higher percentage of White students (67.64%) compared to surrounding schools, but it has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.4% in 2019-2020 to 39.6% in 2022-2023 - notably higher than nearby schools like Heathrow Elementary and Round Lake Elementary. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages, and it has a relatively high percentage of students (57.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged population.

Despite an increase in per-student spending from $9,736 in 2019-2020 to $11,598 in 2022-2023, Seminole Springs' statewide ranking has dropped from 596 out of 2,118 Florida elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,196 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be impacting the school's performance. Addressing the challenges of chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes will be crucial for Seminole Springs to provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
