Summary

Calusa Elementary School in Boca Raton, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 858 students in grades PK through 5 within the Palm Beach School District, and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for at least the last ten consecutive years.

Calusa stands out for its consistent, top-tier academic performance across all subjects and grades, with proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science for grades 3-5 hovering between 77% and 87% in the 2025-2026 school year. This balanced strength is a key differentiator from many nearby schools that show significant weaknesses in specific areas. For example, Calusa outperforms Whispering Pines Elementary School in every tested subject and grade level, often by 10-15 percentage points. Additionally, Calusa’s chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2% is significantly lower than the district average (23.4%) and the state average (31.4%), and it is also lower than most of its high-performing peers, such as Del Prado Elementary School (18.8%) and Blue Lake Elementary (16.9%), indicating a highly engaged student body and strong family-school connection.

While Calusa is an elite choice, it is not the absolute highest-ranked school in its immediate area. Morikami Park Elementary School, located just 1.6 miles away, ranks in the 100th percentile of all Florida schools and outperforms Calusa in every subject, with proficiency rates often exceeding 90%. This creates a fascinating dynamic where two exceptionally high-performing schools exist in close proximity. Calusa’s per-student spending of $14,771 is relatively high compared to some peers like Somerset Academy Boca East ($10,228), but it is lower than schools with significantly worse outcomes, such as Pine Grove Elementary School ($19,132), suggesting Calusa uses its resources effectively to achieve high results.
