Summary:
The city of Eatonville, Florida has only one school in its district - Hungerford Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive attributes, it faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and chronic absenteeism.
Orange County district, which includes Eatonville, has relatively low academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math at Hungerford Elementary compared to the state and district averages. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.3%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. These issues are likely exacerbated by the school's predominantly African American (83.76%) and economically disadvantaged (73.8% free/reduced lunch) student population.
Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $16,471, Hungerford Elementary's academic performance suggests that the funding may not be effectively translated into improved student outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and implement effective interventions and support systems to help students succeed.
