Q: Is Longwood Elementary School a good school?

Longwood Elementary School ranks 865 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Longwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Longwood, Florida, serving 631 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Seminole County School District, which is ranked 7th out of 68 districts in the state.

Longwood Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (39.78%) and African American (8.4%) students. The school generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, particularly in 5th grade Science and 3rd-4th grade English Language Arts. However, its math performance, especially in 5th grade, is lower than the district and state averages. Longwood Elementary has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.1% in 2019-2020 to 22.2% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, over 60% of Longwood Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to some nearby schools.

Despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Longwood Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 503 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 993 out of 2,240 in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be underperforming compared to its peers. Longwood Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby high-performing schools like Woodlands Elementary and Choices In Learning Charter, particularly in math and science. However, it outperforms some lower-performing schools like Altamonte Elementary and English Estates Elementary. Addressing the areas of weakness, such as 5th grade math performance and chronic absenteeism, could help Longwood Elementary improve its overall academic outcomes and ranking among Florida elementary schools.

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.
