Summary

Bayshore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bradenton, Florida, serving 708 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Manatee School District, which is ranked 41 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Bayshore Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking between 1400-1900 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years.

One of the key challenges facing Bayshore Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29-31% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 43-63% of Bayshore students proficient in ELA and Math, compared to 52-62% for the district and 55-63% for the state. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69-75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than nearby schools like Florine J Abel Elementary School and William Monroe Rowlett Academy For Arts And Communication.

Despite these challenges, Bayshore Elementary has some potential for improvement. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.7 to 15.2, is comparable to nearby schools, and its per-student spending, between $10,856 to $13,152, is higher than the state average. By addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic performance, Bayshore Elementary may be able to turn around its fortunes and provide a high-quality education to its students.
