Dr. Robert B. Ingram Elementary School

Summary:

Dr. Robert B. Ingram Elementary School is a public elementary school in Opa Locka, Florida, serving 299 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Miami-Dade school district.

While the school faces significant challenges, including high poverty, chronic absenteeism, and consistently low academic performance compared to district and state averages, it has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio. The school's student population is predominantly African American, with 74.92% of students identifying as such, compared to nearby schools ranging from 61.26% to 87.76% African American. Chronic absenteeism rates at Dr. Robert B.

Meek/Westview K-8 Center, which also struggle with similar challenges.

Despite the school's challenges, there are some signs of improvement, with 5th-grade science proficiency increasing from 23% in 2020-2021 to 32% in 2022-2023, and 5th-grade ELA proficiency increasing from 34% to 49% over the same period. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and low academic achievement, will be crucial for improving outcomes for the students at Dr. Robert B. Ingram 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.
