Summary

Pahokee Middle-Senior High in Pahokee, FL, serves 868 students in grades 6-12 and is part of the Palm Beach district, located in a high-poverty community where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable high school performance, especially when compared to nearby schools. Its graduation rate is an exceptional 99.0%, far surpassing Indiantown High School (93.3%) and Clewiston High School (88.9%). Chronic absenteeism is also impressively low at 14.4%, a stark contrast to Everglades Preparatory Academy (57.2%) and Crossroads Academy (62.7%). In high school subjects, Pahokee outperforms the state average in Geometry (64% vs. 56%) and 10th-grade English Language Arts (67% vs. 61%), and it matches the state average in Algebra 1 (63%). This is a significant achievement given that nearby Glades Central High School scored much lower in Algebra 1 (40%) and Geometry (47%). The school’s state ranking has also climbed from the 29th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 66th percentile in 2024-2025, showing a clear upward trend.

However, there is a notable internal challenge: while the high school excels, middle school performance lags behind. For example, only 25% of 8th graders are proficient in Science (vs. 52% statewide), and just 40% of 6th graders are proficient in Math (vs. 60% statewide). This suggests the school is highly effective at getting students to graduation but needs to strengthen foundational skills in earlier grades. Despite this, Pahokee’s overall success in a high-poverty area is a powerful example of how strong school culture and effective resource use can overcome obstacles, especially when compared to struggling nearby schools.
