Summary

Cholee Lake Elementary School in Greenacres, FL, serves 976 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a predominantly low-income community, with 64.65% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. The school is part of the Palm Beach district and has historically struggled with academic performance, but recent data shows a promising recovery.

The most pressing issue at Cholee Lake is a chronic absenteeism crisis, with a rate of 37.4% in 2023-2024—far higher than the district average of 23.4% and the state average of 31.4%. This is the highest rate among nearby schools, compared to just 17.4% at Everglades Elementary and 25.8% at Pine Jog Elementary. Academically, Cholee Lake underperforms in most subjects; for example, only 37% of 4th graders are proficient in English Language Arts, versus 62% district-wide. However, math is a relative strength—56% of 5th graders are proficient in math, and 3rd grade math (64%) nearly matches the district average (67%). The school spends $14,431 per student, more than higher-performing schools like Everglades Elementary ($12,936), suggesting funds are directed toward addressing absenteeism rather than boosting instruction.

Despite these challenges, Cholee Lake is on an upward trajectory. Its state ranking has climbed from the 5th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026—a 21-point jump in three years. This recovery is notable because nearby schools with similar demographics, like Forest Hill Elementary (64.64% free/reduced lunch, 64th percentile), show that high achievement is possible. The school’s improving math scores provide a foundation to build on, but tackling the absenteeism crisis remains critical for sustained progress.
