The stark contrast in educational outcomes between The Phoenix Program-Immokalee and the nearby Naples Classical Academy highlights the potential equity issues facing the school's predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population. The fluctuations in spending per student at The Phoenix Program-Immokalee also raise questions about the school's resource allocation and whether the funds are being used effectively to address the unique needs of its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, will be crucial in ensuring that all students at The Phoenix Program-Immokalee have access to a high-quality education and the resources they need to succeed.

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.
