While Indian Pines Elementary shares the same district and rating as the surrounding schools, such as Franklin Academy - Boynton Beach, Greenacres Elementary School, and Manatee Elementary School, it consistently underperforms them in key metrics.

The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 24.3%, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which have rates ranging from 15.2% to 36.4%.

Despite the higher spending per student at Indian Pines Elementary, ranging from $14,727 to $17,643 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains significantly lower than the Palm Beach district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science was 33% at Indian Pines, compared to 53% in the Palm Beach district and 53% statewide. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, including chronic absenteeism and potential systemic barriers, will be crucial in improving student outcomes at Indian Pines Elementary.

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.
