J Franklyn Keller Intermediate School

Summary:

J Franklyn Keller Intermediate School is a public elementary school located in MacClenny, Florida, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 723 students. The school is part of the Baker school district.

While J Franklyn Keller Intermediate School shares some similarities with nearby schools, such as high free/reduced lunch rates, it stands out in several ways. The school has a higher percentage of white students (77.32%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 55.35% to 93.07% white students. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 888 out of 2247 Florida elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1633 out of 2240 in 2022-2023, indicating a drop in performance relative to other schools in the state. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.7% in 2019-2020 to 19.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Westside Elementary School and Lawtey Elementary School.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages, with some exceptions. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 49%, compared to the state average of 58%. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $6,669 in 2019-2020 to $7,442 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby Westside Elementary School ($11,387) and Lawtey Elementary School ($10,776). These factors suggest a need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and equity considerations.

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.
