Summary

Benoist Farms Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Palm Beach, Florida, serving 472 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, ranging from $14,544 to $16,485 over the past few years, Benoist Farms Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 24% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 54% in the Palm Beach district and 55% statewide. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 31.4% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, much higher than the state average.

When comparing Benoist Farms Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, H.L. Johnson Elementary School, Grassy Waters Elementary School, and Everglades Elementary all have significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower free and reduced lunch rates than Benoist Farms Elementary School. Despite these challenges, the school's performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, suggesting that systemic issues may need to be addressed to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
