Summary

Moore Haven Elementary School is a small, rural school in Moore Haven, FL, serving 344 students in grades PK-5 within the Glades district, a high-performing district that ranks in the top 25% statewide.

The most critical challenge facing Moore Haven Elementary is chronic absenteeism, with 43% of students missing significant school in 2023-2024—far above the state average of 31.4% and higher than nearby schools like Country Oaks Elementary (34.3%) and Westside Elementary (36%). While this rate has improved from a staggering 58% the year before, it remains a major barrier to learning. Academic performance is inconsistent: 3rd graders showed a bright spot with 82% proficiency in English Language Arts in 2025-2026, but the same cohort dropped to just 48% in 4th grade the following year, suggesting gains are not sustained. The school also struggles compared to its district peer, Pemayetv Emahakv Charter Our Way School, which consistently scores in the 80th-90th percentile. However, 5th-grade science is a consistent strength, with 65% proficiency in 2025-2026, exceeding the state average of 60%.

Moore Haven serves a high-poverty community, with 74% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and spends $14,261 per student—more than nearby Central Elementary ($11,058) in the Hendry district, which also serves a high-poverty population. This suggests funding alone isn't the issue; the school must focus on tackling absenteeism and ensuring early academic gains carry through to later grades. While the school has shown recovery from a low point in 2021-2022, its progress remains fragile without addressing these core challenges.
