R. C. Bannerman Learning Center

Summary:

R. C. Bannerman Learning Center is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Green Cove Springs, Florida, with a student population of 256 and part of the Clay District, which is ranked 10th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, R. C. Bannerman Learning Center consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida high schools, with a statewide ranking between 570-749 over the past 10 years and receiving 0 or 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from a low of 42.5% in 2018-2019 to a high of 67.5% in 2020-2021, well below the state and district averages. Additionally, R. C. Bannerman Learning Center has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 61.6% to 81.1% over the past 5 years, more than double the state and district averages.

When comparing R. C. Bannerman Learning Center to other high schools in the Clay District, such as Orange Park High School, Ridgeview High School, Middleburg High School, and Clay High School, the performance gap is stark. These nearby schools consistently outperform R. C. Bannerman Learning Center on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. The school's high poverty levels, significant racial demographic shifts, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing factors to the low academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by this school 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.
