Summary

Pinecrest Elementary School in Immokalee, FL, is a public school serving 584 students in grades PK-5 within the high-performing Collier County School District, and it has a remarkable turnaround story—going from a 1-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating over the last four years.

Pinecrest’s biggest strength is math, where students consistently outperform state averages. For example, 72% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to 62% statewide. This success is part of a broader trend in Immokalee, where schools like Eden Park Elementary School and Village Oaks Elementary School also show strong math scores despite serving high-poverty communities. However, English Language Arts (ELA) remains an area for growth, with 4th-grade proficiency at 38%—27 points below the district average. The school also stands out for its low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%, which is less than half the state average of 31.4%, indicating a positive school culture and strong family engagement. Higher per-student spending ($17,957) supports smaller class sizes and targeted interventions that have fueled this academic turnaround.

Compared to nearby schools, Pinecrest is the most stable and consistently improving option in the Immokalee area. While Highlands Elementary School has a similar profile, its math scores are slightly lower, and Lake Trafford Elementary School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (20.9%). Pinecrest’s sustained improvement over four years, particularly in math, makes it a standout choice for families seeking a school that has effectively turned around its performance and built a strong foundation for student success.
