H. L. Johnson Elementary consistently outperforms the Palm Beach district and the state of Florida in academic proficiency, with 70% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 54% in the district and 55% statewide, and 80% proficient in math compared to 59% in the district and 60% statewide. The school also has a more racially diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic (31.95%) and African American (21.3%) students compared to nearby schools. While chronic absenteeism has increased at the school, reaching 19.7% in 2022-2023, it still performs better than some nearby schools like Loxahatchee Groves Elementary (30.8%) and Renaissance Charter School At Cypress (35.0%).

The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 40.51% in 2022-2023, is higher than some nearby schools but lower than others, such as Benoist Farms Elementary (80.05%) and Cypress Trails Elementary (53.25%). This suggests the school serves a population with greater economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support to ensure all students have the necessary tools and opportunities to succeed.

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.
