While Mater Lakes Collegiate Academy High School has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (95.5%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (30%), Geometry (29%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (45%) are significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Mater Lakes has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.8%, which is higher than nearby schools like Miami Arts Charter (35.2%) and Booker T. Washington Senior High (54.1%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (51.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, Mater Lakes Collegiate Academy High School appears to be underperforming academically. For instance, Miami Arts Charter and New World School of the Arts, both located within a mile of Mater Lakes, have significantly higher test scores and state rankings. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $9,033, the school's academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices. Additionally, Mater Lakes has a very high student-teacher ratio of 55.5, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, potentially contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
