Summary

Plumb Elementary School in Clearwater, FL, is a public school serving 704 students in grades PK-5 within the Pinellas County School District, a district ranked in the top 25% of Florida. The school has shown a positive trajectory in state rankings, climbing from the 53rd percentile in 2018-2019 to a recent high of the 78th percentile, and it currently sits at the 73rd percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. With a moderate level of economic diversity—49.29% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch—Plumb offers a stable and increasingly competitive option for families in the area.

Plumb Elementary’s standout strength is its exceptional math proficiency, with 2025-2026 scores of 78% (3rd), 82% (4th), and 79% (5th), significantly outpacing both district and state averages. However, its English Language Arts (ELA) scores (66%, 62%, 60%) lag behind district averages, creating a clear academic profile of a school that excels in math but is average in reading. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6%, well below the district (30.6%) and state (31.4%) averages, and much lower than nearby schools like Eisenhower Elementary School (36.4%) and Sandy Lane Elementary School (39.2%), indicating a strong culture of attendance.

In its neighborhood, Plumb faces competition from high-performing charter schools like Discovery Academy of Science (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and Plato Academy Clearwater (84th percentile, 4 stars), which achieve higher test scores across both math and ELA. These charters also have significantly lower free/reduced lunch rates (28.12% and 4.87%, respectively), highlighting a socioeconomic divide in school choice. Plumb’s per-student spending ($13,891) and student-teacher ratio (14:1) are in line with peers, suggesting its strong math performance stems from effective instruction rather than higher resources. Overall, Plumb is a solid, above-average school with a clear strength in math and a healthy attendance culture, making it an attractive option for families seeking a stable public school in Clearwater.
