Summary

Sports Leadership And Management (SLAM) Middle School Palm is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in West Palm Beach, Florida. With a student population of 334, the school is part of the Palm Beach school district, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a specialized sports-focused curriculum, it faces several challenges. SLAM Middle School Palm has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Palm Beach district and Florida averages, reaching 31.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in FAST/English Language Arts and FAST/Math were significantly below the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Bak Middle School of the Arts and Jeaga Middle School, SLAM Middle School Palm's performance is generally lower, with these schools having significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, may be a contributing factor to its challenges. Despite the school's specialized curriculum and increased spending per student, the inconsistency in its statewide ranking suggests the need for a more comprehensive and sustained approach to school improvement.
