Summary

Lake Park Elementary School is a mid-sized school in Lake Park, FL, serving 389 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, where 72% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting significant economic challenges in the community.

Lake Park Elementary shows a striking contrast in academic performance: it excels in upper-grade math, with 4th and 5th graders achieving 77% and 73% proficiency in 2025-2026—well above district and state averages—but struggles in English Language Arts (ELA), where 3rd-grade proficiency is only 34% and 5th-grade is 45%. This creates a large gap within the school, unlike nearby Palm Beach Gardens Elementary, which has a more balanced profile and a 4-star rating. The school spends $17,945 per student, higher than Palm Beach Gardens ($13,892) but comparable to struggling Lincoln Elementary ($18,556), suggesting funding alone isn't the issue. Despite a 2-star rating (33rd percentile statewide), the school is on an upward trend, recovering from a 1-star low in 2023-2024, with significant gains in 4th-grade ELA (from 26% to 55%) and 5th-grade science (from 23% to 35%).

Chronic absenteeism, a major challenge peaking at 30.1% in 2021-2022, has improved to 21.6% in 2023-2024—now below the state and district averages. This improvement likely supports recent academic gains. The school's performance contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary (50.2% absenteeism) and Washington Elementary Magnet (44.7%), highlighting a stark socioeconomic divide within a small area. Lake Park Elementary is a school in transition, showing promise in math and attendance, but needing to address its ELA weaknesses to build on its momentum.
