Summary

Boca Raton Elementary School is a mid-sized public school in downtown Boca Raton, FL, serving 335 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and is part of the Palm Beach district.

This school is a true "comeback story" in a high-achieving area. After a low point in 2022-2023, it has climbed 17 percentile points in two years, earning a 3-star rating and its best performance since 2019. A standout strength is 3rd grade, where 76% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 72% in Math—well above district and state averages. However, there is a notable "4th-grade slump," as the same cohort drops to 50% proficiency in ELA and 45% in Math, suggesting a need for targeted support at that level. Science is a surprising bright spot, with 5th graders consistently scoring near the state average. Despite these gains, the school spends significantly more per student ($18,334) than top-performing neighbors like Calusa Elementary School ($14,771) and Blue Lake Elementary ($12,947), yet its outcomes are lower, pointing to potential inefficiencies in resource use.

The biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 24.9% is nearly double the rate of nearby high-flyers like Addison Mizner School (12.6%) and Calusa Elementary School (14.2%). This likely holds the school back from reaching the top tier. Located in a dense urban area, it serves a more economically diverse population than its neighbors, with 55.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school's recent upward trend is encouraging, but addressing the 4th-grade slump and reducing absenteeism are key levers for continued improvement.
