Summary:
The city of Canal Point, Florida has only one elementary school, K. E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 253 students. The school is part of the Palm Beach school district, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in the state of Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
K. E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in Florida over the past 3 school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent year. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, and it has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 53.9% for the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite the school's poor performance, it appears to receive a relatively high level of funding, with $21,910 spent per student, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, this raises questions about how the resources are being utilized and whether they are being effectively targeted to address the school's specific needs. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly African American, with very small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, which may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students.
