Rolling Green Elementary School

Summary:

Rolling Green Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Boynton Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 692. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Rolling Green Elementary faces significant challenges, with a consistently high percentage of African American students (66.33%), extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (25.6% to 40.1%), and consistently underperforming test scores compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25-44% of students at Rolling Green were proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 50-60% proficiency in the district and state. Despite the high percentage of students from low-income families (88.01% to 97.89% receive free or reduced-price lunch), the school spends significantly more per student ($16,035 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools, which range from $9,488 to $18,966 per student.

The nearby schools, such as Citrus Cove Elementary School, Barton Elementary School, and Forest Park Elementary School, generally outperform Rolling Green Elementary in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and overall school rankings, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the underperformance of Rolling Green Elementary. The school's consistently low rankings and underperformance compared to the district and state averages suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's operations, resource allocation, and instructional strategies to address these issues and improve outcomes for its students.

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.
