Summary:

Sunridge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Winter Garden, Florida, serving 687 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Sunridge Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 41.48% Hispanic, 27.95% White, 18.49% African American, and 4.95% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to nearby schools like Windermere Elementary and Lake Whitney Elementary, which have a higher percentage of White students. However, Sunridge Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.0% in 2018-2019 to 24.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

Academically, Sunridge Elementary's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate (63%) is higher than the district (61%) and state (53%) averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has generally declined from a high of 710 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 876 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state.

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.
