Wynnebrook Elementary School

Q: Is Wynnebrook Elementary School a good school?

Wynnebrook Elementary School ranks 913 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Wynnebrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Palm Beach, Florida, serving 736 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and some areas of concern, such as rising chronic absenteeism.

Wynnebrook Elementary has a notably diverse student body, with 49.46% Hispanic, 38.04% African American, and 8.56% White students. The school consistently outperforms the Palm Beach district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with 64% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 64% of 5th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to lower district and state averages. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.1% in 2018-2019 to 29.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools like Cholee Lake Elementary and West Gate Elementary, Wynnebrook stands out as a relatively high-performing school, particularly in terms of test scores. However, the school's declining statewide ranking, from the top 250 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to the top 913 in 2023-2024, suggests that factors like chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage (with 75.54% to 91.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch) may be impacting its overall performance.

The staff and administrators at Wynnebrook are there to wholly support their students everyday. They value the social-emotional wellness of their students as much as they do academics, and students are listened to in order to best meet their needs. Mrs. Berry takes care of her teachers so they can provide the best possible education to students. Parents are respected, and student growth is always the number one priority. 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.
