Summary

Loxahatchee Groves Elementary is a public PK-5 school in Loxahatchee, FL, serving 695 students within the Palm Beach School District, and it stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and high per-student spending of $18,607, yet it has a 3-star rating and a declining academic trajectory.

One of the most striking findings is the school's high spending paired with below-average results. Loxahatchee Groves spends significantly more per student than nearby high-performing schools like Binks Forest Elementary School ($13,311) and Western Academy Charter School ($10,915), yet it ranks in the 49th percentile while those schools rank in the 98th and 89th percentiles, respectively. This raises questions about resource allocation. Additionally, the school has a major weakness in chronic absenteeism, with 27.7% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024—nearly double the rates of Binks Forest Elementary School (15.6%) and Royal Palm Beach Elementary School (16.7%). This is the single most impactful metric holding the school back.

Academically, the school shows a clear strength in Science, with 67% of 5th graders proficient in 2025-2026—7 points above district and state averages—but struggles in English Language Arts, where only 50% of 3rd graders are proficient, 9 points below the district. An interesting anomaly is 100% proficiency in 6th-grade math for the last four years, likely reflecting a small group of advanced 5th graders taking the test. Despite a decreasing percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (from 53% to 43%), the school's ranking has declined from the 69th percentile in 2019 to the 49th percentile in 2025, suggesting it is losing ground to peers like H. L. Johnson Elementary School and Golden Grove Elementary School that are improving more effectively.

So glad I got my kids out. This school is geared towards ESE students. That is where they get their funding. The rest of the students don’t matter unless you are in the click. I will never send my children back there. Close Quote
