Coral Sunset Elementary School

Q: Is Coral Sunset Elementary School a good school?

Coral Sunset Elementary School ranks 835 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Coral Sunset Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boca Raton, Florida, serving 794 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coral Sunset has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (41.44%) and African American (8.94%) students. However, the school faces several challenges, including a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (35.0%) and lower test scores compared to top-performing nearby schools like Waters Edge Elementary and Riverglades Elementary. Additionally, Coral Sunset has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.01%) and the highest spending per student ($15,224) among the schools analyzed.

While Coral Sunset's academic performance is on par or slightly above the district and state averages, the school's statewide ranking has remained relatively stagnant over the past 8 years, fluctuating between 714 and 1126 out of over 2,000 Florida elementary schools. The combination of higher free/reduced lunch rates, lower test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism suggests potential equity challenges that may need to be addressed to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education at Coral Sunset Elementary School.

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.
