Glades Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.66% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby charter schools like Somerset Academy Bay Middle School (17.21%) and Archimedean Middle Conservatory (3.03%), but lower than some other nearby public schools.

The higher spending per student at Glades Middle School, reaching $11,342 in 2022-2023, suggests that the school may have access to more resources and funding to support its educational programs and student needs. This, combined with the school's exceptional performance on End-of-Course exams, indicates that Glades Middle School is effectively preparing its students for advanced coursework and college readiness. However, the school and district should continue to address the increase in chronic absenteeism to ensure all students are consistently engaged and attending classes.

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.
