Florine J. Abel Elementary School is a public school in Manatee County that teaches students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Although the school’s test scores are lower than the state average, the faculty is focused on closing achievement gaps and regularly hosts “Learning Gains” parties to celebrate individual students’ improvements in reading and math. The culture at Abel Elementary is uplifting and kind. Students can look forward to field trips and birthday celebrations during the school year. Abel Elementary is in a residential neighborhood that is convenient to the main thoroughfare. Bus service is available for those who sign up and qualify. The school has a uniform policy requiring students to wear collared polo shirts or T-shirts with the school logo and specified pants, shorts or skirts. Financial assistance may be requested. Parents and guardians who need before or after-school care can register their children for an affordable monthly fee. These programs are offered through the county school system. Abel Elementary's 35 full-time teachers educate, encourage and nurture almost 500 students each year.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
