Summary

Bauder Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seminole, Florida, serving 554 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 19th out of 67 districts in the state.

Bauder Elementary consistently outperforms the Pinellas County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, with 85% of its 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 67% for the county and 55% for the state. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 28.9% to 31.4% in recent years, which may be an area of concern. Bauder Elementary also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (29.42%) compared to some nearby schools, such as Fuguitt Elementary (67.28%) and Seminole Elementary (60.2%), and a higher per-student spending of $16,254 in the 2023-2024 school year.

Bauder Elementary is located in close proximity to several other high-performing elementary schools, such as Orange Grove Elementary and Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8, which also consistently rank among the top schools in the state. While Bauder's academic performance is impressive, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates may be an area that the administration should address to ensure continued student success.
