Summary

Plumosa School Of The Arts in Delray Beach, FL, is a public magnet school in the Palm Beach district serving 826 students from Pre-K through 8th grade with a specialized arts-focused curriculum that has driven remarkable academic growth over the past five years.

Plumosa has shown impressive improvement, climbing from the 25th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 69th percentile in 2025-2026, a 44-point jump that outpaces nearby schools like Rolling Green Elementary School (4th percentile) and Galaxy Elementary School (9th percentile). The school excels in core subjects, with 3rd grade ELA proficiency at 82%—22 points higher than S. D. Spady Elementary School (65%) and 46 points higher than Rolling Green (28%).

While Plumosa demonstrates strong overall performance, it has a persistent weakness in 4th grade math, with only 40% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the district average of 60%. Chronic absenteeism is improving but remains at 20.9%, slightly below the district average of 23.4% and higher than Poinciana Stem Elementary Magnet School (12.0%).
