Argyle Elementary School

Q: Is Argyle Elementary School a good school?

Argyle Elementary School ranks 1439 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Argyle Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Orange Park, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 793. The school is part of the Clay District, which is ranked 10th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Argyle Elementary is part of the highly-ranked Clay District, it underperforms compared to many of the nearby schools, such as Discovery Oaks Elementary and Plantation Oaks Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better statewide rankings. Argyle Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the Clay District and Florida state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 42% to 56% across different grade levels and subjects.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40% to 52.33%, and the higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.7% to 23.9%, at Argyle Elementary suggest that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be contributing to its lower academic performance. Addressing these issues, such as improving attendance, providing additional academic support, and addressing any underlying socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.

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.
