Summary

Manatee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Naples, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 588 students. The school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Manatee Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,863 to $17,487 over the past few years, the school's performance lags behind nearby schools and the district/state averages. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, with a 31.4% rate in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the Collier County average of 17.4% and the Florida average of 20.0%. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally lower than the Collier County and Florida averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 48%, compared to 62% for Collier County and 57% for Florida.

Manatee Elementary School also serves a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 70.41% to 88.44% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the Collier County and Florida averages. When compared to nearby schools, such as Tommie Barfield Elementary School, Manatee Elementary consistently underperforms in academic measures. Addressing the challenges faced by the school, including high chronic absenteeism and low test scores, through targeted interventions and data-driven decision-making could be key to improving the overall success of the school.
