Summary

White City Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Pierce, Florida, serving 504 students in grades PK-5 and part of the St. Lucie School District, which is ranked 42 out of 67 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 38.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, White City Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 5-10 percentage points below the district and state in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.49% to 88.18% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Fairlawn Elementary School, a public magnet school, White City Elementary consistently underperforms, with Fairlawn's proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher. The high chronic absenteeism rates at White City Elementary may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this student population.

What people are saying

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
