Summary

White City Elementary School in Fort Pierce, FL, is a small school serving 493 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, located in a community where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced significant challenges, holding a 1-star rating and ranking in the 22nd percentile statewide, but recent data reveals some surprising bright spots that set it apart from nearby schools.

One of the most notable findings is the school's dramatic performance swings, particularly in 4th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 4th graders scored 68% proficient in ELA—12 points above the district average and 8 points above the state average—and 63% proficient in math, 10 points above the district average. This is a complete reversal from the previous year, when the same grade level scored just 32% in ELA. This volatility contrasts sharply with more stable nearby schools like Fairlawn Elementary School, a 5-star school just 4 miles away with consistent performance and a chronic absenteeism rate of only 14%, compared to White City's 34.9%. The school's spending of $11,586 per student is in line with peers, suggesting that challenges like high absenteeism and poverty are key drivers of outcomes rather than funding alone.

While White City shows signs of recovery from pandemic-era lows, with its ranking climbing from the 7th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 22nd percentile, science remains a persistent weakness—only 43% of 5th graders were proficient in the most recent year, compared to 59% district-wide. The school's 4th-grade "anomaly" offers a potential blueprint for improvement, but families should weigh the school's instability against the consistent performance of nearby options like Rivers Edge Elementary School or Fairlawn Elementary School.

by a teacher
Thursday, July 1, 2010

After teaching at White City, I know that the current administration (2010) does not care about the well being of their teachers or students. All they care about is their test scores at the end of the year. Close Quote
