Oriole Elementary School

Q: Is Oriole Elementary School a good school?

Oriole Elementary School ranks 1671 st of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Oriole Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, serving 651 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oriole Elementary faces several significant challenges. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (86.79%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 44.88% to 95.37% African American. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with rates ranging from 42.1% to 47.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 25.5% to 49.6% range of nearby schools. Academically, Oriole Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was just 28%, compared to 52% for Broward County and 53% for the state. Additionally, a very high percentage of Oriole Elementary students (82.34% to 87.99%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's challenges, Oriole Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,383 to $14,226 over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools. This raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's specific needs. Addressing the issues at Oriole Elementary, such as high chronic absenteeism, racial disparities, and low academic performance, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique circumstances of the school and its community.

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.
