Summary:

This analysis examines four elementary schools in zip code 32967 (Vero Beach, FL), serving grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Indian River School District, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide.

The schools in this area present a dramatic performance spectrum. St. Peter's Academy is the standout academic powerhouse, ranking 50th out of 2,240 elementary schools in Florida (98th percentile) with 100% proficiency in 5th-grade science, ELA, and math—all while serving a 100% free/reduced lunch population. Among public schools, Liberty Magnet School leads at the 85th percentile, excelling in early literacy with 95% 3rd-grade ELA proficiency. North County Charter School shows inconsistent performance, with strong 4th-grade scores (87% math, 83% ELA) but sharp drops in 5th grade (42% math, 54% ELA). Dodgertown Elementary School struggles significantly, ranking in the 21st percentile with a 44.8% chronic absenteeism rate—the highest in the area—and all test scores below district averages.

Key takeaways include that higher spending does not guarantee results: Dodgertown spends the most per student ($13,342) but performs the worst, while St. Peter's Academy spends the least ($10,330) and achieves the best outcomes. Chronic absenteeism shows a strong inverse correlation with performance, suggesting attendance interventions could be impactful. St. Peter's Academy defies expectations as a high-poverty, high-performing outlier, while the contrast between Liberty Magnet and Dodgertown highlights how socioeconomic factors and attendance patterns can create vastly different outcomes within the same district.
