Summary

Poinciana Stem Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school in Boynton Beach, Florida, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade with a total enrollment of 418 students. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Poinciana Stem Elementary Magnet School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 473 out of 2,112 Florida elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,161 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars out of 5 in 2015-2016 to 2 stars out of 5 in the current school year. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.0% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in the current school year. In most subject areas and grade levels, Poinciana Stem Elementary Magnet School's test scores are below the district and state averages, though the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the district and state in 4th-grade English Language Arts and 6th-grade Math.

Compared to nearby public magnet schools like Citrus Cove Elementary School and Freedom Shores Elementary School, Poinciana Stem Elementary Magnet School's performance is generally on par or slightly better. However, it lags behind the higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Franklin Academy - Boynton Beach and Imagine Schools Chancellor Campus. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic performance.
