Summary:

Bayshore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Port St. Lucie, Florida, serving 835 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Lucie School District, which is ranked 47 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bayshore Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (35.09%) and Hispanic (33.53%) students. However, the school faces several challenges, including consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates (26.9% in 2022-2023) and lower test scores than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Bayshore's 3rd grade ELA proficiency (43%) was lower than the Parkway Elementary (49%) and the state (55%) averages. Additionally, Bayshore has a high percentage of students (69.7% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the higher spending per student at Bayshore ($11,537 in 2022-2023), the school's performance has steadily declined over the years, from a statewide ranking of 1066 out of 2182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1004 out of 2256 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Windmill Point Elementary and West Gate K-8 School, Bayshore's academic performance is generally lower, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support for its economically disadvantaged and at-risk students.

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.
