Lake Pointe Academy

Summary:

Lake Pointe Academy is a public elementary and middle school located in Clermont, Florida, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,070 students. While part of the Lake County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 68 districts in Florida, Lake Pointe Academy appears to be underperforming compared to nearby schools.

One key concern is Lake Pointe Academy's significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 37.7%, compared to 30.8% at Sawgrass Bay Elementary and 20.0% at Celebration School. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the surrounding schools and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, Lake Pointe Academy's proficiency rate was 49% compared to 52% in the district and 55% statewide.

Another notable difference is the racial makeup and socioeconomic status of Lake Pointe Academy's student population. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.74%) and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.37%) compared to the nearby schools, which have a more diverse racial composition and lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher spending per student at Lake Pointe Academy ($10,320) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes are still lagging behind, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.

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.
