This school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in key subjects like Algebra, Geometry, and Civics compared to nearby schools.

West Glades School stands out for its more balanced racial composition, with 48.45% White, 49.07% Hispanic, and 1.24% African American students, which is more diverse than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (30.8%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 46.65% to 76.66%. While West Glades has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 21.9% in 2022-2023, it still performs better than the nearby schools, which have chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.8% to 43.8%.

The consistent academic performance of West Glades School, with the school ranking in the top half of Florida elementary schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, is particularly impressive given the higher poverty rates and racial diversity of the student population compared to the state average. This suggests that the school is providing a higher-quality education to its students, despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population. While the school's performance in 8th grade Science could be targeted for improvement, West Glades School is a strong-performing school that is outpacing its district and the state in academic achievement.

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.
