Havana Magnet School

Summary:

Havana Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Havana, Florida, which is part of the Gadsden School District. With a student population of 505, the school has a predominantly African American student body (75.25% in 2022-2023).

While Havana Magnet School consistently outperforms the Gadsden District and the state of Florida in several key test score metrics, such as 81% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 compared to 27% for the district and 55% for the state, the school struggles in other areas like 5th grade science, where only 21% were proficient compared to 16% for Gadsden and 53% for Florida. The school also faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.2% in 2022-2023 and an extremely high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 89.7%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools in the Leon County, Havana Magnet School's performance lags significantly behind high-performing schools like Hawks Rise Elementary and Canopy Oaks Elementary, which have much higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Havana Magnet School's performance is generally better than the other schools in the Gadsden District, such as Stewart Street Elementary and Bold Step Infant Care, which have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
