Summary:
The 33405 zip code area in Palm Beach, Florida is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the schools share some common challenges, the data reveals stark differences in academic performance, with one standout middle school contrasting with lower-performing elementary schools.
Conniston Middle School emerges as the clear academic leader, with students significantly outperforming district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in math. In contrast, the 3 elementary schools in the area - Palmetto Elementary, South Olive Elementary, and Belvedere Elementary - struggle with lower test scores, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and student populations facing significant economic disadvantages.
The data suggests that addressing the disparities between the middle school and elementary schools should be a priority. Improving instructional practices, providing targeted student support, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could help the elementary schools in the Palm Beach district catch up to the high performance seen at Conniston Middle School. With the right strategies, the potential for improvement exists, as evidenced by the relatively stronger performance of South Olive Elementary.
