Flagler Public School

Summary:

Flagler Public School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with 172 students in the small town of Flagler, Colorado. While the school has a predominantly White student population, it has consistently underperformed the state average in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, Flagler Public School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Compared to the nearby High-Plains School District R-23, Flagler Public School serves a less diverse student population, but both schools struggle with academic performance below the state averages. The low student-teacher ratio at Flagler Public School, ranging from 8 to 9.1 over the past three years, could be a potential strength that could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and targeted interventions for students. However, the school's challenges in student achievement may be influenced by the socioeconomic factors of its student population.

Overall, Flagler Public School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates in core subjects lagging behind the state and district averages. By addressing these challenges and leveraging the school's strengths, such as its small class sizes, Flagler Public School may be able to improve educational outcomes for its students and better serve the Flagler community. The nearby High-Plains R-23 district also faces similar academic performance issues, suggesting that the challenges faced by Flagler Public School may be reflective of broader educational trends in the region.

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.
