What Parents Should Know

Test scores at Royal Palm School sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.

At 6.2:1 students to teachers, Royal Palm School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

32% of students at Royal Palm School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.
