Summary

Pinewood Elementary School in Mims, FL, is a mid-sized school serving approximately 500 students in grades PK through 6, and it is part of the Brevard school district.

Pinewood has historically been a solid, above-average performer, but recent data shows a significant decline. The school’s state ranking dropped from the top third of Florida elementary schools to the 40th percentile, a much steeper fall than nearby schools like South Lake Elementary and Enterprise Elementary, which have maintained high ranks. A key concern is a "sliding doors" performance pattern: while 3rd and 6th graders score well above district and state averages in English and math, 4th and 5th graders struggle significantly. For example, 5th grade proficiency in English (38%) and math (41%) is far below expectations, a trend that has persisted for several years. Additionally, chronic absenteeism, while better than the state average, has risen to 20.4% and is now higher than at high-performing peers like South Lake (7.0%).

Interestingly, Pinewood spends more per student ($13,134) than nearby high-performing schools, including Sculptor Charter School ($9,032), which outperforms Pinewood in nearly every subject. This suggests the issue is not a lack of funding but how resources are used. For context, Geneva Elementary School in the Seminole district has a similar percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds but significantly outperforms Pinewood, highlighting that the school’s challenges are likely tied to school-specific factors like curriculum and instruction. The school is at a crossroads, needing targeted intervention in its 4th and 5th grade programs and a focus on reducing absenteeism to reverse its recent decline.
