Summary

Sea Wind Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hobe Sound, Florida, serving 505 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Martin District, which is ranked 33 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Sea Wind Elementary has consistently struggled with several key metrics. The school has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.3% to 31.4%, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools like Palm City Elementary and Crystal Lake Elementary. Additionally, Sea Wind's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with a 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 37% compared to the district's 52% and the state's 55%.

Another notable factor is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sea Wind Elementary, ranging from 55.75% to 72.67% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Palm City Elementary (21.52%) and Crystal Lake Elementary (41.52%). The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance compared to its peers in the Martin District and the state of Florida.
