About Casa Montessori School

Casa Montessori School serves 37 students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in Lady Lake, Florida. This small elementary school maintains an exceptional 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio with 4 full-time equivalent teachers, allowing for highly personalized attention that aligns with the Montessori educational philosophy. The school has earned impressive recognition, receiving a 9.2 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout and ranking #481 out of 1,462 schools statewide, placing it in the 67th percentile among Florida elementary schools.

This strong performance reflects the school's commitment to fostering independent learning and individualized instruction within its intimate academic community. Casa Montessori's small enrollment creates a close-knit environment where students can develop confidence and self-direction through the hands-on, student-centered approach characteristic of Montessori education. The low student-teacher ratio ensures that each child receives the guidance and support needed to progress at their own pace across the multi-grade classroom structure.

The school is situated in Lady Lake's mid-size suburban community, where the median household income is $55,244 and home values average $251,600. This stable residential area, with a poverty rate of 9.7% and 27% of residents holding bachelor's degrees or higher, provides a supportive backdrop for the school's educational mission.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 37 students, Casa Montessori School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, Casa Montessori School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
