Summary:

Equestrian Trails Elementary is a highly-rated public elementary school in Wellington, Florida, serving 843 students in grades PK-5. This school stands out as an exceptional performer within the Palm Beach School District, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Equestrian Trails Elementary boasts exceptional academic achievement, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 83% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts and 93% were proficient in Math, compared to just 54% and 59% respectively for the Palm Beach district and 55% and 60% for the state of Florida. The school's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 43.42% White, 11.51% African American, 25.98% Hispanic, 14.71% Asian, and 4.27% two or more races, is also noteworthy, as it is higher than many nearby schools which tend to have a higher concentration of either Hispanic or White students.

Further setting Equestrian Trails Elementary apart are its relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.2% to 12.0% over the past few years, and its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20.28% to 29.42%. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Montessori Academy of Early Enrichment (31.9% chronic absenteeism, 77% free/reduced lunch) and Cholee Lake Elementary (38.7% chronic absenteeism, 72.33% free/reduced lunch), which struggle with higher rates of economic disadvantage and student absences.

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.
