Summary:

The Villages Elementary Of Lady Lake School is a public elementary school serving 761 students in grades PK-5 in Lady Lake, Florida, which is part of the Lake District. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, diverse student population, and increased spending per student.

Despite challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, The Villages Elementary consistently outperforms the Lake District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores across grades 3-5 in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, 66% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52% in the Lake District and 55% statewide. The school also has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American (16.03%) and Hispanic (23.52%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.4% in 2019-2020 to 32.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than surrounding schools.

When compared to nearby schools like Treadway Elementary School, Belleview Elementary School, and Emerald Shores Elementary School, The Villages Elementary stands out for its stronger academic performance and more diverse student population, but also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a greater percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's increased spending per student, from $8,337 in 2019-2020 to $10,492 in 2022-2023, may contribute to its academic success, but the high free/reduced lunch rates suggest a need for continued support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.

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.
