Immokalee High School

Summary:

Immokalee High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Immokalee, Florida, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 2,056. While the school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 14th in the state, Immokalee High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests and has a lower graduation rate.

Immokalee High School faces significant challenges, with only 37% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to 67% in Collier County and 55% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.4% also lags behind the state average of around 90%. Additionally, Immokalee High School has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate of 29%, compared to the state average of 15-20%, likely due to the high percentage of students (over 96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage.

Despite these challenges, Immokalee High School appears to be performing better academically than some other high-poverty schools in the region, such as Donna J. Beasley Technical Academy and East Lee County High School. However, the school still lags behind the nearby Palmetto Ridge High School, which outperforms Immokalee across various academic metrics. This suggests that a more targeted and comprehensive approach may be necessary to address the unique needs of Immokalee High School's student population and improve their educational outcomes.

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.
