Summary:
The Glades school district is home to three elementary-level schools serving grades PK-5 through PK-8, offering a mix of traditional public and charter options for families in this Florida community.
Two schools stand out for very different reasons. Pemayetv Emahakv Charter Our Way School is the district's top performer, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide with a 4-star rating and a history of strong test scores. In contrast, Moore Haven Elementary School faces significant challenges, ranking in the 47th percentile with a 2-star rating and the highest rates of chronic absenteeism (43%) and economic disadvantage (74% on free/reduced lunch) in the district. West Glades School emerges as a consistent, well-rounded performer, achieving a 4-star rating and outperforming district and state averages in nearly every subject while having the lowest chronic absenteeism (23.5%) and the lowest spending per student ($11,559).
Key metrics reveal a complex picture. Pemayetv Emahakv spends $35,219 per student—far more than its peers—and has only 1% of students on free/reduced lunch, while Moore Haven spends $14,261 per student. Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue at both Moore Haven (43%) and Pemayetv Emahakv (38.5%), yet the latter maintains high performance, suggesting effective strategies to mitigate its impact. West Glades demonstrates that efficient resource use and consistent attendance can yield strong results, making it a solid choice for families seeking a reliable, above-average school environment in the district.
