The school also has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22% to 36.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Redland Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages, with only 39-57% of students proficient in these subjects compared to 53-65% for Miami-Dade and 53-60% for Florida.

Redland Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.77% to 91.41% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

These factors suggest that Redland Elementary faces unique challenges and may require a targeted approach to address the specific needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
