Summary

Pahokee Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Pahokee, Florida, with 322 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. Pahokee Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating.

Pahokee Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.4% to 42.7%, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores also lag behind the district and state, with only 40-46% of students proficient in ELA compared to 54-57% for the district and state, and 66-74% proficient in math compared to 55-64% for the district and state. Additionally, Pahokee Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85-95%, much higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Palm Beach district also struggle academically, with similar issues to Pahokee Elementary. However, the schools in the neighboring Hendry County district generally outperform Pahokee Elementary on test scores, despite having higher poverty levels. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and poverty, such as school leadership and resources, may be contributing to the poor performance of Pahokee and other schools in the region.
