Verde K-8

Summary:

Verde K-8 is a public elementary and middle school located in Boca Raton, Florida, serving 1,296 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This school stands out within the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Verde K-8 consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Florida, with students performing significantly better than the district and state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 96% of Verde K-8 students were proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 58% for the Palm Beach district and 55% for the state of Florida. The school also has a more diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.31% White, 5.56% African American, 36.65% Hispanic, 4.71% Asian, and 2.47% two or more races, which is higher than many nearby schools. Additionally, Verde K-8 has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 10.7% in 2018-2019 to 17.2% in the current 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than some nearby schools like Olympus International Academy (44.1%) and Boca Raton Elementary (27.6%).

The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 27.93% in the current school year, is also noteworthy, as it is lower than several nearby schools such as Boca Raton Elementary (62.47%) and Orchard View Elementary (76.01%). This suggests that Verde K-8's success may not be solely determined by socioeconomic factors, but rather by effective teaching practices, curriculum, or other factors that contribute to its consistently high academic performance and lower rates of chronic absenteeism compared to many of its nearby counterparts.

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.
