Jupiter Elementary School

Q: Is Jupiter Elementary School a good school?

Jupiter Elementary School ranks 1311 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jupiter Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Jupiter, Florida, which is part of the Palm Beach School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups.

While Jupiter Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending level, it faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.2% to 30.1%, which is much higher than the 9.3% to 24.2% rates at surrounding schools like Jupiter Farms Elementary School and Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School. Additionally, Jupiter Elementary's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

Another key differentiator is Jupiter Elementary's extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.75% to 82.44% in recent years. This is much higher than the 15.93% to 56.02% rates at nearby schools, indicating a high-poverty student population that may require additional resources and support services. Despite these challenges, Jupiter Elementary's diverse student body and unique profile within the local context suggest opportunities for targeted interventions to address attendance, academic performance, and student needs.

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.
