Summary

Bayshore Elementary School in Bradenton, FL, is a public school serving 711 students in grades PK through 5 within the Manatee County School District, where over 72% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Bayshore Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20th percentile of Florida schools for several years, earning a 1-star rating for the last three consecutive years. While there was a brief improvement during the pandemic-affected years (2020-2022), the school has since regressed to pre-pandemic levels of underperformance. The most critical challenge is chronic absenteeism, which has remained alarmingly high—at 30.9% in 2023-2024, and peaking at 40% in 2021-2022. This rate is far worse than nearby William Monroe Rowlett Academy For Arts And Communication, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 15% and achieves dramatically better academic results despite spending less per student ($10,831 vs. $13,059 at Bayshore). The comparison highlights that factors like school culture and student engagement are critical drivers of success.

Despite these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope in 5th-grade math, where proficiency has risen from 41% in 2022-2023 to 54% in 2025-2026, suggesting a targeted intervention that is working. However, overall spending at Bayshore ($13,059 per student) is below that of similarly struggling peers like Robert H. Prine Elementary School ($13,706) and Florine J Abel Elementary School ($14,983). The data strongly suggests that addressing the root causes of absenteeism is the single most impactful lever for improving academic outcomes at Bayshore Elementary.
