Summary:
The 33444 zip code area in Palm Beach, Florida is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 alternative school, all part of the Palm Beach school district. While the district is ranked 38 out of 67 in Florida and has a 2-star rating, a few schools in this area stand out for their exceptional performance.
Plumosa School of the Arts is the highest-performing school in the data set, with outstanding test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels, including a 79% proficiency rate in Algebra 1, 100% in Geometry, and 94% in Civics - all significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates are also notably higher than the district and state, particularly in the 3rd, 6th, and 7th grades. In contrast, Village Academy on the Art & Sara Jo Kobacker Campus, an alternative school, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.7%, despite its generally lower test scores compared to the district and state.
Across the 4 schools, there are some concerning trends, such as a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4% compared to the state average, and a wide range in free/reduced lunch recipients, from 47.28% at S.D. Spady Elementary to 85.09% at Village Academy, indicating significant socioeconomic diversity within the 33444 zip code area. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios among the schools also suggests different resource allocations and staffing models, which could contribute to their performance differences.
