Summary

Hobe Sound Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 460 students in grades PK-5 in Hobe Sound, Florida, which is part of the Martin County School District. While the district is ranked 33 out of 67 in the state and has a 3-star rating, Hobe Sound Elementary faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

One key issue is the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have steadily increased from 21.9% in 2022-2023 to 31.4% in 2023-2024 - significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Hobe Sound Elementary generally underperforms on test scores compared to the district and state, with its 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 49% in 2024-2025, compared to 56% for the district and 57% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.21% to 68.19% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than nearby Pinewood Elementary and Crystal Lake Elementary.

Despite these challenges, Hobe Sound Elementary spends more per student ($13,918 in 2023-2024) compared to the Martin County School District average, which could be due to the higher needs of its student population. The data also includes two prekindergarten programs located near Hobe Sound Elementary that serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, suggesting a need for early childhood education support in the area. By understanding the unique needs of its students and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Hobe Sound Elementary can develop targeted strategies to improve student attendance, academic performance, and overall educational outcomes.
