Summary:
The city of Lake Park, Florida has only one public elementary school, Lake Park Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 389 students. The school stands out for its majority African American student population (82.52%), which is significantly higher than the Palm Beach district and state averages.
Academically, Lake Park Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 26.3%, which likely contributes to the lower academic outcomes. Despite spending $17,226 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the challenges it faces.
Overall, the data highlights the significant equity and academic challenges at Lake Park Elementary School. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its student population.
