Summary:
Lovell Elementary is a public elementary school in Apopka, Florida, serving 643 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Orange County School District. While the district is ranked 31 out of 68 in Florida, Lovell Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a greater percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools.
Lovell Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.6% to 43.5% in recent years, is notably higher than the 19.7% to 33.2% rates of surrounding schools. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the Orange County and Florida state averages in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, with its 5th-grade science proficiency rate at 49% compared to 61% for the county and 53% for the state. The school's student population is also more diverse, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students, which may present both challenges and opportunities.
Despite Lovell Elementary's higher per-student spending, ranging from $9,063 to $14,584 in recent years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools, between 1,543 and 1,913 out of over 2,000 schools. This suggests that the school may require additional support and resources to address the unique needs of its student population, which includes a significantly higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.43% to 75.58%, compared to the 52.21% to 76.8% rates of nearby schools like Apopka Elementary and Dream Lake Elementary.
