Gratigny Elementary School

Summary:

Gratigny Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 417 students in grades PK-5 in Miami, Florida, which is part of the Miami-Dade school district. The school faces significant challenges, including a student population that is predominantly African American (76.26%) and economically disadvantaged, with very high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 72.18% to 91.97%.

Gratigny's performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Gratigny's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 32% compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 28.7% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the surrounding schools, such as Linda Lentin K-8 Center and Benjamin Franklin K-8 Center. Despite having the highest spending per student among the nearby schools, ranging from $14,147 to $17,683 over the past 4 years, Gratigny continues to underperform its peers.

The high percentage of African American students at Gratigny, combined with its low performance, suggests potential racial achievement gaps that should be further investigated and addressed. Addressing the root causes of Gratigny's persistent low performance, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates, will be crucial for improving outcomes for its students and ensuring they receive the support 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.
