Grove Park Elementary School

Summary:

Grove Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in West Palm Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 511. 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.

Grove Park Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (57.93%) compared to nearby schools, and it consistently underperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 34-44% of students proficient in these subjects compared to 50-60% for the district and state. Additionally, Grove Park Elementary has persistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.2% to 34.6%, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While some nearby schools, such as Allamanda Elementary and Palm Beach Gardens Elementary, perform significantly better on academic measures, others in the same district, like Lincoln Elementary and West Riviera Elementary, also struggle with low test scores and high poverty rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Grove Park Elementary may be systemic within the broader Palm Beach School District.

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.
