Palmetto Elementary (PLE)

We invite you to discover all that your neighborhood public school, A-rated Palmetto Elementary, has to offer. As the proud home of the Gators, we believe every student deserves instruction that meets their individual needs. With certified teachers, hands-on learning, and a welcoming school culture, every Gator is known, supported, and encouraged to grow.

Located in the heart of Golden Gate Estates, our school reflects the strong family values of the community we serve. Events like our Fall Festival and literacy nights help families feel connected from the moment they arrive.

We encourage you to schedule a visit so you can experience, firsthand, what makes Palmetto Elementary a wonderful choice for your family. We look forward to welcoming you to our Gator community.
