Manatee Elementary School

Summary:

Manatee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Naples, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 584. The school is part of the Collier School District, which is ranked 14th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating.

Manatee Elementary faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.6% in 2019-2020 to 29.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, also lags behind the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 5-15 percentage points lower. Additionally, Manatee Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.95% to 90.31%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Tommie Barfield Elementary, located about 7.5 miles away, Manatee Elementary consistently underperforms in test scores and other key metrics. The relatively high per-student spending at Manatee Elementary, ranging from $13,613 to $16,416 over the past few years, suggests that the school is receiving additional resources, but the persistent academic challenges indicate that the allocation and utilization of these resources may need to be re-evaluated to better address the specific needs of the school's diverse student population.

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.
