Norland Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (86.3%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 69.35% to 90.83% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.5% to 37.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 18.5% to 37.9% range of nearby schools. Norland's test scores are consistently lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with 5th-grade science proficiency at 28% compared to 53% for the district and state. Additionally, Norland has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.4% to 93.02%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite increased per-student spending at Norland Elementary, from $9,455 in 2019-2020 to $13,646 in 2022-2023, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 1,411 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,939 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, some nearby schools, such as Parkway Elementary and Norwood Elementary, have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Norland, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could help address the specific challenges faced by Norland Elementary.

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.
