Summary

Northmore Elementary School in West Palm Beach, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 710 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, where a majority of families (61.69%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism, which has been a persistent issue. While the rate has improved to 30.9% in 2023-2024, it remains far higher than the district average of 23.4%. This is especially striking when compared to its closest neighbor, Northboro Elementary School, located just 0.66 miles away. Northboro serves a similar community but has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.9%, suggesting that Northmore’s attendance struggles are tied to school-specific factors rather than the neighborhood alone. Academically, Northmore has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Florida elementary schools, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA (31%) and 5th grade science (37%) well below state averages. However, there is a bright spot: 5th grade math proficiency has risen steadily from 45% to 63% over three years, now exceeding the state average of 62%.

Interestingly, Northmore spends less per student ($13,497) than many nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Roosevelt Elementary School ($18,611) and Lincoln Elementary School ($18,556), yet achieves comparable or slightly better results. This suggests that while funding is lower, the school may be managing resources efficiently. The success of Northboro, which spends a moderate $16,243 per student and ranks in the 62nd percentile, shows that significant improvement is possible within the same district and community. For parents, Northmore’s story is one of a school working to overcome systemic attendance and academic hurdles, with a promising model emerging from its 5th grade math program.
