Summary

Pahokee Elementary School is a small, rural PK-5 school in Pahokee, FL, serving 328 students within the Palm Beach school district, and it serves a highly economically disadvantaged community where 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable and sustained academic turnaround, particularly in math. After years of struggling, Pahokee Elementary has climbed from the 7th percentile in state rankings to the 49th percentile, earning a consistent 2-star rating. Its math scores now outperform both the district and state averages in every grade level tested (3rd, 4th, and 5th). This is a significant differentiator from nearby schools like Rosenwald Elementary and Belle Glade Elementary, which have shown stagnation or decline. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $20,930 per student—more than most nearby Palm Beach schools—and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1, allowing for more individualized attention.

Despite these strengths, the school faces two major challenges. First, chronic absenteeism is a severe issue, with a rate of 42.7%—nearly double the district average. Second, while math is a clear strength, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency remains a persistent weakness, with scores below district and state averages in every grade. Interestingly, when compared to the nearby charter school Glades Academy Inc., which serves a less disadvantaged population, Pahokee dramatically outperforms it in nearly every academic metric, suggesting that its high investment and targeted strategies are yielding strong results for its students.
