Summary

Palm Beach Gardens Elementary School is a high-performing public school in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, serving 712 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight consecutive years, placing it in the 83rd percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional consistency and strong academic performance, particularly in math, where proficiency rates are 15 to 28 percentage points higher than the district average. For example, 4th-grade math scores at Palm Beach Gardens Elementary (88%) dramatically outperform nearby Franklin Academy- Palm Beach Gardens (61%) and The Conservatory School At North Palm Beach (68%). The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1%, well below the district average of 23.4% and far lower than nearby schools like Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary (50.2%) and Washington Elementary Magnet School (44.7%). This low absenteeism is a strong indicator of student engagement and family support, which directly contributes to academic success.

Interestingly, Palm Beach Gardens Elementary achieves these results with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 and spending per student ($13,892) that is not the highest in the area—schools with much lower performance, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower K-8, spend significantly more ($22,803). This suggests the school is highly efficient with its resources. While Timber Trace Elementary School is slightly higher-performing (94th percentile), Palm Beach Gardens Elementary is a reliable, high-achieving institution that significantly outperforms most of its immediate neighbors, including Allamanda Elementary School (71st percentile) and Gardens School Of Technology Arts Inc (20th percentile), making it a standout choice for families.
