Hospital And Homebound

Summary:

Hospital And Homebound is a small alternative public school in Jacksonville, Florida that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a student population of just 96 students. The school is part of the Duval school district, which is ranked 54th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student, ranging from $35,948 to $48,243 per year, compared to nearby schools which spend around $6,599 to $9,857 per student, Hospital And Homebound has consistently poor academic outcomes. The school's test scores are well below district and state averages, with only 8% of students proficient in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 56% in the district and 55% statewide. Additionally, the school has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 59% to 74% over the past 5 school years, which is much higher than the district and state averages of around 40-50%. This likely contributes to the school's very low 4-year graduation rate of just 20%.

When compared to nearby alternative and charter schools, such as KIPP Jacksonville K-12, Cornerstone Classical Academy, and Idea River Bluff, it becomes clear that Hospital And Homebound is an outlier in terms of its academic performance and student outcomes. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed at the higher-performing nearby schools, and that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better serve its diverse student population.

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.
