Summary:

Beulah Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pensacola, Florida, serving 946 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Escambia District, which is ranked 51 out of 68 districts in Florida and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

It has a higher percentage of White students (60.04%) compared to nearby schools like Sherwood Elementary School (52.25% African American) and Lincoln Park Elementary School (75.65% African American). Academically, Beulah consistently outperforms the Escambia District and the state of Florida in standardized tests, with 62% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 53% for the district and 55% for the state. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (28.9%) and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.66%).

While Beulah Elementary School maintains a stable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, some nearby schools, such as R.C. Lipscomb Elementary and Pine Meadow Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance with higher rankings and test scores. The school may need to address the rising chronic absenteeism rate and explore ways to promote greater inclusivity and representation within its 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.
