Acceleration Academies LLC Homestead

Summary:

Acceleration Academies LLC Homestead is a public high school located in Homestead, Florida, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 149 students. Despite being part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida, this school has consistently underperformed its nearby counterparts.

The key issues at Acceleration Academies LLC Homestead include extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 2.2% to 21.4%, compared to the much higher rates at Homestead Senior High School (99.4%) and Everglades Preparatory Academy High School (94.3%). The school also experiences alarmingly high chronic absenteeism, reaching up to 99.7% in recent years, and consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with proficiency rates as low as 5% in Algebra 1 and 30% in US History, compared to higher district and state averages.

Interestingly, Acceleration Academies LLC Homestead serves a relatively higher socioeconomic population, with a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to nearby schools. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely attributed to socioeconomic factors, but rather to other factors, such as instructional practices, student support systems, and overall school climate. By addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions, the school may have the opportunity to improve its educational outcomes and better serve its students.

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.
