Summary

Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary School is a public school in Sarasota, FL, serving 522 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Manatee County School District, and it has shown impressive improvement in recent years.

Kinnan Elementary is a school on the rise, climbing from the 30th percentile in state rankings just six years ago to the 58th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This upward trend is especially notable when compared to nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Blanche H. Daughtrey Elementary and Oneco Elementary School, which are both struggling at the bottom of state rankings. Even though Kinnan is in a lower-performing district, it is outperforming several schools in the higher-ranked Sarasota County district, including Dreamers Academy and Gocio Elementary School. The school also demonstrates efficient use of resources, achieving strong results with a per-student spending of $14,629, far less than the $50,055 spent per student at Visible Men Academy, which ranks slightly lower.

A standout strength is Kinnan’s exceptional performance in 5th-grade math and science, where students consistently score well above district and state averages. For example, in 2025-2026, 72% of 5th graders were proficient in math and 69% in science, compared to state averages of 61% and 60%, respectively. This suggests a particularly strong upper-grade teaching team. While chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 28.3%, it has been steadily declining from a high of 34.3% in 2021-2022, showing positive momentum. Overall, Kinnan Elementary is a compelling choice for parents seeking a school that is effectively overcoming challenges and delivering strong academic results, especially in STEM subjects for older students.
