See top schools in LakelandSocrum Elementary School is part of the Polk County Public Schools district and is situated at 9400 Old Dade City Road in Lakeland, Florida. It serves children in grades Pre-K through 5. The latest numbers reveal that there are about 16.6 students for every instructor. It is thought that just about 36% of students at Socrum are good at maths, which is much lower than the Florida average of roughly 52%. This tendency is also shown in reading skills, where about 35% of children reach the benchmarks for competency. The school has a mix of students: roughly 46% are White, 31% are Hispanic, and 19% are Black or African American. About 77% of children can get free or reduced-price meals, which shows that the school has a lot of needs. Most students who graduate from Socrum go on to Lake Gibson Senior High School.
Some of its famous alumni are NFL running back Eric Kelce and Olympic track athlete Conte Candee (Class of 2010). If you're thinking about renting a house in the area, three-bedroom rentals in the Lakeland area usually cost between $1,600 and $2,400 per month, depending on where it is and how well it is kept. Socrum has reasonable class numbers and a sense of community, but its academic performance levels suggest that families who want their kids to do well in maths and reading may wish to look into enrichment programs or compare campuses nearby that do better.
