Summary

Egret Lake Elementary School in West Palm Beach, FL, is a public school serving 547 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, where a majority of families (64%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Egret Lake has historically ranked in the bottom quarter of Florida elementary schools, currently holding a 1-star rating. However, there is a notable bright spot: 66% of 4th graders were proficient in math, which actually beats both the district (60%) and state (65%) averages. This success doesn't carry over to 5th grade, where math proficiency drops to just 45%, suggesting a critical area for the school to investigate. The school's biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism, with 34% of students missing too many days—far higher than the district average of 23%. Nearby, Renaissance Charter School at West Palm Beach serves a similar population but achieves a 5-star rating with only 17% chronic absenteeism, showing what's possible in the same community.

On a positive note, Egret Lake is showing slow but steady improvement, rising from the 7th percentile to the 23rd percentile over the past few years—its highest ranking since 2017. The school also spends a significant $16,387 per student, which is higher than many high-performing schools in the area. For parents, the key takeaway is that while Egret Lake faces real challenges tied to attendance and overall test scores, the strong 4th-grade math results and recent upward trend suggest that targeted efforts are beginning to make a difference.
