Summary

Labelle Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Labelle, FL, serving 446 students within the Hendry district. The school has recently experienced a dramatic academic turnaround, jumping from the bottom 8% of Florida elementary schools in 2023-2024 to the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026—a remarkable 50-percentile-point improvement in just two years. This surge makes Labelle Elementary stand out from nearby schools like Country Oaks Elementary, which only moved from the 21st to the 38th percentile over the same period.

Math performance is a clear strength, with Labelle Elementary outperforming both the district and state averages in every grade level tested. In 5th grade math, 75% of students scored proficient, compared to 56% for the district and 62% for the state. English Language Arts scores have also improved significantly, with 5th graders reaching 65% proficiency—above the state average of 61%. The school spends $13,485 per student, which is 36% higher than Country Oaks Elementary and 22% higher than the average of nearby schools. This higher investment, combined with a small student body and a low student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1, may be contributing to the recent academic gains.

Despite these positive trends, Labelle Elementary faces a serious chronic absenteeism challenge, with 37.4% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024—nearly double the district average and higher than all nearby schools with available data. Additionally, while the school is outperforming its own district, it still lags behind West Glades School, a top-tier school in the neighboring Glades district that ranks in the 80th percentile. The percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch has also been steadily declining, from 76.66% in 2022-2023 to 64.13% in 2024-2025, suggesting a shift in the school's socioeconomic demographics that may be influencing academic outcomes.
