Limestone Creek Elementary School ranks 325 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Limestone Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jupiter, Florida, serving 946 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in the state.

Limestone Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the Palm Beach District and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with significantly higher percentages of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 15% of Florida elementary schools, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the student population is predominantly White, with a lower percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to some nearby schools, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary and Jupiter Elementary.

Limestone Creek Elementary School has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.0% to 12.9%, which is lower than the rates of some nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a higher per-student spending compared to the state and district averages, which may contribute to its academic success. These findings suggest that Limestone Creek Elementary is a high-performing school, but the district-wide disparities in student demographics and resource allocation warrant further examination to ensure equitable access to quality education for all 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.
