Best Public Schools in Mims, FL

Summary:

The city of Mims, Florida is home to two elementary schools serving grades K-6: Pinewood Elementary School and Mims Elementary School. Based on the available data, Pinewood Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school in the area, with stronger academic outcomes, lower chronic absenteeism, and more efficient resource allocation compared to Mims Elementary.

Pinewood Elementary boasts a 3-star statewide ranking from SchoolDigger, significantly outperforming Mims Elementary's 1-star rating. Pinewood students consistently demonstrate higher proficiency rates on state assessments across grade levels and subject areas, often exceeding the Brevard district and state averages. Additionally, Pinewood has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4% compared to Mims Elementary's 33.3%.

While Mims Elementary has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students, it also has a significantly higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 79.65%, compared to 53.74% at Pinewood Elementary. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the performance gap between the two schools. Despite the higher per-student spending at Mims Elementary, the data indicates that this additional resource allocation has not yet translated to improved academic outcomes.
