Summary

Golden Grove Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in West Palm Beach, Florida, serving 822 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in the state.

Golden Grove Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 62% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 54% for the Palm Beach district and 55% for the state of Florida. The school also had higher proficiency rates in FAST/English Language Arts and FAST/Math across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Golden Grove Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, ranking among the top 20-25% of Florida elementary schools.

While Golden Grove Elementary outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools, such as Binks Forest Elementary and Western Academy Charter School, have even higher academic achievement and rankings. Additionally, Golden Grove Elementary has faced challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and district averages, which may be impacting its overall performance. The school has also seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 51.34% to 38.56%, which could have implications for the school's funding and resources.

Every teacher I had at that school was motivating, caring, and inspiring. They are the ones who set the foundation for my success, and I attribute much of what I know to their skill. I was in the program "Project CHILD" but I'm not sure if it stuck around. It was the most brilliant concept for an Elementary school. I truly hope that the program is still in use because I could not have soared in English or come to understand Algebra without it. Close Quote
