Stellar Leadership Academy

Summary:

Stellar Leadership Academy is a public charter high school in Miami, Florida, serving 300 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Stellar Leadership Academy stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (54-56%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 18-85% African American. However, the school has extremely low 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 7-18% over the past 5 years, much lower than the 45-100% range of nearby schools like William H. Turner Technical Arts High School and Miami Northwestern Senior High. Stellar Leadership Academy also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 67-88%, compared to 8-67% at nearby schools. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

These challenges at Stellar Leadership Academy are likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 97-99% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is relatively low, ranging from $8,384 to $9,610 per year over the past 4 years. Targeted interventions and additional support, including increased funding and partnerships with community organizations, may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Stellar Leadership Academy and address the significant disparities compared to nearby schools.

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.
