Summary:

Sea Gate Elementary School is a highly-regarded public elementary school in Naples, Florida, serving 703 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 14th out of 68 districts in the state.

Sea Gate Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Florida, with a statewide ranking between 29th and 73rd out of over 2,200 schools in recent years. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating exceptional academic performance. Its students significantly outperform the district and state averages in standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects, with 84% of 5th-graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 58% in the district and 55% statewide, and 87% proficient or better in math compared to 67% in the district and 56% statewide. The school's student population is more racially diverse than many nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students, and it has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate.

While Sea Gate Elementary outperforms the district and state, some nearby schools like Vineyards Elementary School and Lake Park Elementary School also demonstrate exceptional academic performance. The lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sea Gate, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. Nonetheless, Sea Gate Elementary has maintained its high performance and 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, making it a desirable choice for families in the Naples area.

Sea Gate Elementary is a wonderful school with dedicated teachers and staff and very involved parents. The school reaches high standards while making each child know that they are special and can achieve wonderful things. While people from other regions of the country frown on Florida schools, Sea Gate exceeds high national standards all in the gorgeous relaxed beachside environment of Naples. This school is the best part of raising children in SW Florida. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
