New Beginnings Immokalee

Summary:

New Beginnings Immokalee is a small public middle school located in Immokalee, Florida, serving grades 2-8 with a total enrollment of 28 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (71.43%) and significant African American (14.29%) and White (10.71%) representation.

Despite being part of the Collier School District, which is ranked 14th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, New Beginnings Immokalee consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Florida middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 735 and 1091 out of 740 to 1196 schools over the past 15 years. The school has received a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.5% to 42.6% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Proficiency rates on state assessments are also significantly lower than the Collier district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

In comparison, the nearby middle schools, such as Corkscrew Middle School and Cypress Palm Middle School, have significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. This suggests that the challenges faced by New Beginnings Immokalee are not necessarily shared by all schools in the Collier district. Despite the low academic performance, New Beginnings Immokalee has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $19,178 to $35,588 over the past 4 years, which is significantly higher than the nearby middle schools.

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.
