Summary:
The 33403 zip code area in Palm Beach, Florida is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 alternative virtual schools. This diverse set of schools serves a student population that faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the area is Gardens School Of Technology Arts Inc, a public charter school that outperforms the district and state averages across various test subjects and grade levels. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and the lowest spending per student among the schools in the data set. Another notable school is Palm Beach Virtual Franchise, an alternative virtual school with an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and generally higher test scores than the district and state averages.
In contrast, Howell L. Watkins Middle School and Lake Park Elementary School struggle to meet the benchmarks, with particularly low test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. The data suggests that the type of school (traditional public, public charter, or virtual) may play a role in the academic outcomes, and that targeted interventions and support are needed to address the specific challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the Palm Beach district.
