Summary:
The 33493 zip code in Palm Beach, Florida is home to a single public elementary school, Rosenwald Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 275 students. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.73%) compared to the Palm Beach district and state averages, its academic performance is generally lower, with proficiency rates on state assessments falling below district and state levels in many subjects and grade levels.
Rosenwald Elementary School stands out for its high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.2%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,644, likely due to the high percentage of students from low-income families (89.45% free/reduced lunch recipients), the resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13:1 suggests that class sizes are relatively small, but this has not been enough to overcome the challenges faced by the student population.
Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support at Rosenwald Elementary School to address the racial disparities, academic underperformance, and high chronic absenteeism rates. Improving student outcomes will likely require a multifaceted approach that addresses the root causes of these issues and ensures that the available resources are being effectively utilized to meet the specific needs of the school's diverse student population.
