Summary:

Moore Haven Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 375 students in grades PK-5 in Moore Haven, Florida, which is part of the Glades District. While the district is ranked 18th out of 68 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Moore Haven Elementary faces several challenges that set it apart from its peers.

The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 22.5% in 2019-2020 to 58.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores consistently lag behind the Glades District and Florida state averages, with only 44% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 63% for the district and 55% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56% to 82.7%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, when comparing Moore Haven Elementary to nearby schools, such as Pemayetv Emahakv Charter Our Way School, the differences in performance are stark. Pemayetv Emahakv consistently outperforms Moore Haven Elementary and the Glades District on test scores, with proficiency rates often exceeding 80% in various subjects and grade levels. While Moore Haven Elementary has a diverse student population, the nearby schools tend to have more homogeneous student populations. Despite the higher spending per student at Moore Haven Elementary, the academic performance still lags behind, indicating that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the 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.
