Summary

Lucille Moore Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 524 students in grades PK-5 in Panama City, Florida, which is part of the Bay District school system.

Lucille Moore Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 48.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the Bay District and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 28% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to 53% district-wide and 57% statewide. Additionally, Lucille Moore has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.97% to 78.69% over the past few years, which is much higher than the other nearby schools like Hiland Park Elementary School, Cedar Grove Elementary School, and Northside Elementary School.

Lucille Moore's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1900 out of 2064 in 2013-2014 to 1830 out of 2258 in 2024-2025. Despite spending more per student ($13,136 in 2023-2024) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (13.8 in 2023-2024) compared to the other nearby schools, these resources do not seem to be translating to better outcomes for the students. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Lucille Moore Elementary will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the needs of the school's population and effectively utilizes the available resources and staffing.
