This school delivers exceptional academic results that far exceed its neighbors. In math, Pine Island's 4th-grade proficiency rate of 81% is 21 points higher than the district average and surpasses nearby schools like Trafalgar Elementary School (79%) and Patriot Elementary School (47%). In 5th-grade science, Pine Island's 76% proficiency rate is 21 points higher than the district average and competitive with top charter schools like Oasis Charter Elementary School-South (78%). The school ranks in the 70th percentile statewide, placing it in the top 30% of all Florida elementary schools, while most nearby schools like Skyline Elementary School and Mid Cape Global Academy rank in the bottom half.

What makes Pine Island especially noteworthy is its success with a higher poverty rate (47.58% free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby high-performing charters like Oasis Charter (27-31%). Its chronic absenteeism rate of 28.4%, while up from pre-pandemic levels, remains lower than the district average (34.6%) and far below schools like Heritage Charter Academy Of Cape Coral (46.6%). This combination of strong academics, high investment, and community engagement makes Pine Island a standout choice for families seeking a supportive, high-quality elementary education on the island.
