Summary

Eastside Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 552 students in grades PK-5 in Clewiston, Florida. The school is part of the Hendry School District, which is ranked 60 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's low performance, Eastside Elementary consistently outperforms the Hendry district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Eastside's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 49% compared to 34% for Hendry and 55% for Florida. However, the school faces significant challenges related to student attendance, with chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19-36% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, Eastside has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81-88% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Westside Elementary and Central Elementary have similar demographics and performance levels to Eastside, suggesting broader challenges facing the Hendry district. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Palm Beach district, such as Gove Elementary and Pioneer Park Elementary, have much lower test scores and higher poverty levels compared to Eastside, despite spending significantly more per student. Additionally, Moore Haven Elementary, which is in the Glades district about 12 miles away, has similar or better test scores than Eastside across all grade levels and subjects, despite having a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch students.
