English Estates Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fern Park, Florida, serving 686 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Seminole School District, which is ranked 7th out of 68 districts in the state.
While English Estates has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (43.44%) and African American (17.93%) students, it has faced some challenges. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.9% in 2019-2020 to 25.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, English Estates' test scores, while generally lower than the Seminole District and Florida averages, show some areas of strength, such as 3rd grade English Language Arts (57%) and Math (59%) proficiency rates that exceed state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.91% to 73.11% over the past three years, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage compared to the nearby schools.
Despite the increased per-student spending at English Estates, from $8,028 in 2019-2020 to $9,909 in 2022-2023, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 919 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,248 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. When compared to nearby schools, such as Dommerich Elementary, which is just 1.1 miles away, English Estates lags behind on academic measures and has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate. Addressing the underlying factors, such as the high rates of economic disadvantage and increasing chronic absenteeism, could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance.
