Summary

Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 527 students in grades PK-5 in Sarasota, Florida, which is part of the Manatee School District. The school generally performs better than the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 58% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science compared to 52% for the district and 55% for Florida. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.3% to 31.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Manatee district, Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary generally outperforms schools like Blanche H. Daughtrey Elementary and Oneco Elementary on test scores, especially in Math and Science. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Tara Elementary School. The school has also seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $10,972 in 2020-2021 to $13,793 in 2023-2024, suggesting more resources are being invested to support its students.

Despite these challenges, Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary School remains a relatively strong performer within the Manatee district, with above-average test scores in several subject areas. Continued investment in resources and strategies to address the high chronic absenteeism and support the school's economically disadvantaged student population could help the school improve further and better serve its community.
