Summary:
Zip code 34105 is home to a single school, Poinciana Elementary School, a public school serving grades PK through 5 with 468 students in the highly-rated Collier County School District (ranked 13th out of 70 districts in Florida).
Poinciana Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star state rating over the past three years, placing it in the 60th to 63rd percentile among Florida elementary schools. While the school is in a strong district, its own performance is solidly average. A key strength is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4%, which is roughly half the state average of 31.4%—a critical foundation for learning. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1 and spends a substantial $20,528 per student, reflecting significant investment despite serving a high-poverty population (68.59% free/reduced lunch).
Academically, the school shows mixed results. In the most recent test scores (2025-2026), Poinciana outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grades, but it lags behind the district averages, particularly in 4th grade where ELA proficiency is 54% (vs. 65% district) and Math is 65% (vs. 76% district). This suggests a "4th grade slump" that may require additional support. However, 5th grade Science is a bright spot, with 66% proficiency nearly matching the district (67%) and exceeding the state (60%). Overall, Poinciana is a stable, well-resourced school with strong attendance, but its academic outcomes have not yet matched the high spending level, especially when compared to the affluent district benchmarks.
