Summary

Freedom Shores Elementary School in Boynton Beach, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 694 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, where about 61% of students are economically disadvantaged. Over the past decade, the school has experienced a significant decline in academic performance, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2016 to a 1-star rating for the last five consecutive years, placing it in the bottom 15th percentile statewide. This downward trend stands in contrast to nearby schools like Citrus Cove Elementary (3-star, 57th percentile) and Hidden Oaks K-8 (4-star, 71st percentile), which have maintained solid performance, while Starlight Cove Elementary, just 0.89 miles away, has shown a slightly better recent trajectory despite similar demographics.

A key challenge at Freedom Shores is chronic absenteeism, which has been persistently above the district average for five years, reaching 28.3% in 2023-2024 compared to the district's 23.4%. This rate is notably higher than at higher-performing neighbors like Imagine Schools Chancellor Campus (13.4%) and Renaissance Charter School at Central Palm (18.3%). Academically, the school shows a slight strength in math over English Language Arts (ELA), with 5th-grade math proficiency (53%) closer to the district average (66%) than 5th-grade ELA (44% vs. 63%), indicating ELA is a more urgent area for improvement. An unusual data point is 100% proficiency in 6th-grade math for four consecutive years, likely reflecting a specific advanced class rather than the general student body.

Despite spending $17,605 per student—over $3,000 more than Citrus Cove Elementary ($14,492) and Hidden Oaks K-8 ($14,001)—Freedom Shores has not seen corresponding academic gains, suggesting that resource allocation or socio-economic factors play a significant role. For parents considering this school, the primary focus should be on addressing attendance and ELA performance, while the 6th-grade math anomaly warrants further investigation to understand its context.
