Summary

Seminole Trails Elementary School in West Palm Beach, FL, serves 683 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Palm Beach district, a mid-sized school that has shown recent improvement from a 1-star to a 2-star rating.

A key strength at Seminole Trails is math proficiency, especially in the early grades. For example, 4th graders scored 68% proficient in math, which is 8 points above the district average and 3 points above the state average. This outperforms nearby schools like Westward Elementary School (52%) and Egret Lake Elementary School (66%). However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores lag significantly, with 4th-grade ELA proficiency 20 points below the district average. The school also faces a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 30.2%, nearly 7 points higher than the district average, which is a major barrier to academic success. Interestingly, the school spends $16,363 per student, more than the nearby high-performing Renaissance Charter School At West Palm Beach ($11,090), which serves a similar population but achieves much better results, highlighting that attendance and school culture may be more critical than funding alone.

Despite these challenges, there are positive trends. Science scores have improved, rising from 36% proficient to 48% over recent years. The school’s ranking has also climbed, though this may partly reflect changes in other schools' performance. For parents, Seminole Trails offers strong math instruction in the lower grades but struggles with attendance and literacy, making it a school with potential that is working to overcome significant hurdles.
