Summary

Pinemount Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Lake City, Florida, with 471 students enrolled. The school consistently outperforms the Columbia District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with 65% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 76% proficient or better in math, compared to 57% and 67% for the district, respectively.

However, Pinemount Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.42% to 69.43% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 27.7% to 37.8%, which is an area of concern that the school should address. Despite these challenges, Pinemount spends more per student than the state average, with spending ranging from $9,730 to $11,574 per student over the past few years, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Columbia District, such as Westside Elementary, Pinemount generally outperforms them in test scores and academic rankings. This suggests that Pinemount Elementary is a strong-performing school that is effectively serving its students and providing a high-quality education, despite the challenges it faces.
