Summary

Pine Grove Elementary School is a small, PK-5 school in Delray Beach, FL, serving 372 students within the Palm Beach district, and it has become a standout story of academic turnaround, particularly in math.

Pine Grove’s most remarkable achievement is its exceptional math performance, which now rivals or surpasses that of much more affluent nearby schools. In 4th grade math, Pine Grove scored 85% proficient—25 points above the district average and higher than Calusa Elementary School (79%). Its 5th grade math score of 76% is also well above state averages. This success is driven by a targeted "math-first" strategy, combined with a low student-teacher ratio of 13.5:1 and high per-student spending of $19,132, which is significantly more than schools like Morikami Park Elementary School ($13,499). While English Language Arts scores still lag behind, the school’s overall ranking has climbed to the 57th percentile, its highest ever, and it has maintained a 3-star rating for four consecutive years.

This turnaround is especially notable given that nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a demographic that often correlates with lower test scores. Yet Pine Grove is outperforming many peers with similar challenges, such as Forest Park Elementary School and Orchard View Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped dramatically from 32.6% to 17.3%, now well below district and state averages. Pine Grove is a compelling example of how focused investment and strategic instruction can transform a school into a rising star.
