The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 64.78% African American and 31.21% Hispanic.

While the school has higher spending per student compared to nearby public schools, it faces significant challenges. Imagine Charter School At North Lauderdale Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 46.4% over the past 5 school years, which is significantly higher than the 25.5% to 39.3% range of nearby public schools like Morrow Elementary School and Atlantic West Elementary School. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

These factors, combined with the school's higher spending per student, suggest that resources may not be being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the school's overall performance.

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.
