Summary:
The city of Hobe Sound, Florida is home to two elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, the schools in this area show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with one school outperforming the other on several key metrics.
Sea Wind Elementary School and Hobe Sound Elementary School both serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 68% of students at each school qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Sea Wind Elementary School has a more diverse student population, Hobe Sound Elementary School performs better academically, ranking higher among Florida elementary schools and exceeding state and district averages in several subject areas, particularly 5th grade Science and Math.
However, both schools face challenges, with students at both schools performing below state and district averages in English Language Arts. Additionally, Sea Wind Elementary School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, which could be impacting student learning. The data suggests that the higher per-student spending at Hobe Sound Elementary School may contribute to its stronger academic performance, but more research is needed to understand how these resources are being utilized to support student success. Overall, the schools in Hobe Sound, Martin County, demonstrate the need for continued efforts to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the district.
