Pine Island Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average academic performance, and uneven subgroup performance. The school's chronic absenteeism rate reached 30.8% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's M-Step test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 40% in English Language Arts and Math, compared to state averages of 38.9% and 42.7%, respectively.

Thursday, October 4, 2018

Pulled my kid out of this school after 3rd grade. Her teacher had the attitude that everyone wins or no one wins so if one kid acted out in class the whole class go punished for it. My girl came home crying two times because of this. Showed that the teacher did not know how to deal with out of control kids in her class. Also believed in not challenging quick learners. State test results show how effective this approach is. I pulled my kid out of this school before she fail to far behind other school kids in the state. Close Quote
