Summary

Weatherbee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Pierce, Florida, serving 728 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Lucie School District, which is ranked 42 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Weatherbee Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 35%, compared to 53% and 57% for the district and state, respectively. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 38.7% in recent years, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Weatherbee Elementary to nearby schools in the St. Lucie district, such as Northport K-8, West Gate K-8, and Fairlawn Elementary, it becomes clear that Weatherbee is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing the underlying challenges faced by the Weatherbee Elementary community, such as poverty and attendance issues, will likely be crucial in driving meaningful improvements at the school.
