Parkside Elementary School

Summary:

Parkside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Naples, Florida, serving 608 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Parkside Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (75.16%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 42.48% to 78.5% Hispanic. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2018-2019 to 16.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Parkside has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.9% to 92.83% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Academically, Parkside's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When comparing Parkside to nearby schools, such as Shadowlawn Elementary School and Calusa Park Elementary School, it becomes evident that Parkside is underperforming academically. For instance, in 2023-2024, Parkside's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 54%, while Shadowlawn Elementary had a rate of 48%, and Calusa Park Elementary had a rate of 55%. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Parkside may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests a need for additional resources and targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
