Orchard Villa Elementary School

Summary:

Orchard Villa Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 305 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orchard Villa Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (60.98%) and Hispanic (37.7%), and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (80% to 96.9%). The school has consistently struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.3% to 54.3%, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Holmes Elementary School and Lenora Braynon Smith Elementary, which have rates ranging from 33.4% to 55.3%. Additionally, Orchard Villa's test scores are consistently lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Orchard Villa, ranging from $13,188 to $19,607 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains poor, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. This suggests that the school may be facing resource allocation issues and that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the area, such as Agenoria S Paschal/Olinda Elementary School and Liberty City Elementary School.

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.
