Summary:

Windmill Point Elementary School is a public elementary school in Port St. Lucie, Florida, serving 1,006 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the St. Lucie School District, which is ranked 47 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Windmill Point Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (32.01%) and Hispanic (34.89%) students. However, the school faces several challenges, including consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 22.8% to 38.1%) and lower academic performance in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Windmill Point's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 48%, compared to the state average of 55%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (67.99% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Nearby schools, such as Morningside Elementary School and Fau/Slcsd Palm Pointe Educational Research School, have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Windmill Point. The overall low performance and 2-star rating of the St. Lucie School District suggest systemic challenges that may be impacting the performance of individual schools like Windmill Point. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage through targeted interventions and support programs could potentially help improve student outcomes at Windmill Point Elementary School.

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.
