Summary

Lantana Elementary School in Lantana, FL, is a public school serving 517 students in grades PK through 5 within the Palm Beach School District, where a large majority of families (72%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most significant challenge facing Lantana Elementary is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, which has remained above 29% for five years and peaked at 40% in 2021-2022. This directly impacts learning, as the school consistently ranks in the bottom 14% of Florida elementary schools and earns a 1-star rating. Despite spending more per student ($19,621) than any nearby school—including Highland Elementary ($16,059) and Imagine Schools Chancellor Campus ($10,306)—academic results remain low. For example, only 30% of 4th graders were proficient in math in 2024-2025, the lowest score among all neighboring schools. A notable comparison is Palm Beach Maritime Academy Elementary, located just half a mile away, which serves a similar population but achieves significantly better results across all subjects, suggesting that factors like school culture and instructional quality play a crucial role.

There are a few bright spots: 5th-grade math proficiency has shown improvement, rising from 36% in 2023-2024 to 63% in 2024-2025, though it dipped to 50% in 2025-2026. However, a reported 100% proficiency in 6th-grade math is likely a data error, as the school only serves through 5th grade. For parents, the core takeaway is that Lantana Elementary faces deep-rooted attendance issues that overshadow its high per-student spending. Addressing chronic absenteeism would be the single most impactful step toward improving student outcomes and school rankings.
