Summary

Plato Academy Of St.Petersburg is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 370 students in grades K-8 in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The school is part of the Pinellas school district, which is ranked 19th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Plato Academy consistently outperforms the Pinellas district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Plato Academy had 94% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 61% for Pinellas and 60% for Florida. Similarly, their 8th grade science proficiency was 68%, compared to 58% for Pinellas and 49% for Florida. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and district averages, ranging from 17.7% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is an area the school could focus on improving.

Nearby schools like Pasadena Fundamental Elementary School and Orange Grove Elementary School also have high academic performance, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Blanton Elementary, Westgate Elementary, and Seventy-Fourth St. Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance. Plato Academy's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 13.5, may be a contributing factor to its strong academic performance.
