The data reveals a stark contrast in educational performance and outcomes across these institutions, with Plato Academy Clearwater standing out as a high-performing school, while Pinellas Teleschool and Hospital/Homebound struggle to meet the needs of their student populations.
Plato Academy Clearwater consistently ranks in the top 25% of Florida elementary schools, with exceptional test scores and a low chronic absenteeism rate.

Plato Academy Clearwater has a lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students and lower spending per student compared to Skycrest Elementary and Pinellas Teleschool. Additionally, Pinellas Teleschool has a concerning student-teacher ratio of 35.2, which may be a contributing factor to its poor performance.
