Elementary Schools in Okeechobee

The Okeechobee area in Florida is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the overall performance of the Okeechobee School District is below the state average, a few schools stand out as top performers in the region.

Everglades Elementary School, North Elementary School, and South Elementary School are the highest-ranked elementary schools in the Okeechobee School District. South Elementary School, in particular, has the highest ranking among Okeechobee schools, achieving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong performance on standardized tests in science, English language arts, and math. North Elementary School also maintains a 3-star rating and demonstrates solid academic achievement across multiple grade levels.

While the Okeechobee schools generally perform below the state averages in English language arts and science, they have a more mixed performance in math, with some grade levels exceeding the state average. The schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43% to 44.9%, which could be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios among the schools suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district, which may contribute to the differences in school performance.
