Summary

Coral Reef Elementary School in Lake Worth, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 978 students in grades PK through 5, part of the Palm Beach district, and has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

Coral Reef stands out from nearby schools due to its exceptional academic performance and school climate. For example, 75% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to the district (59%) and state (60%) averages. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.0% in 2023-2024, far below the district (23.4%) and state (31.4%) rates, and dramatically lower than nearby schools like Heritage Elementary School (30.7%) and Ben Gamla-Palm Beach (26.8%). Additionally, 5th-grade science scores are a standout strength, with 72% of students proficient, outperforming the district and state by 12 percentage points. The school also demonstrates efficient spending, with a per-student cost of $13,786, achieving better results than lower-performing neighbors like Diamond View Elementary School ($17,463) and Indian Pines Elementary School ($18,327).

One interesting pattern is a consistent drop in math proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade, with a 23-point decline in 2025-2026 (from 80% to 57%), which may be worth discussing with the school. On the other hand, a small group of advanced 6th graders has achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the 6th-grade FAST Math exam for four consecutive years, showing the school’s ability to challenge high-achieving students. Overall, Coral Reef is a model of consistent, high-quality education, with a strong focus on attendance and academic excellence.
