Labelle Elementary School

Summary:

Labelle Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 437 students in grades PK-5 in Labelle, Florida, which is part of the Hendry School District. The school faces several key challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.73%) compared to the state average, concerning rates of chronic absenteeism, and consistently lower academic performance than state and district averages.

Labelle Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 15.7% in 2018-2019 to 31.9% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average of 15.7% and the nearby schools, which range from 21.9% to 43.9%. This high rate of chronic absenteeism is likely contributing to the school's lower academic performance, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA), 4th grade ELA, and 5th grade Math all falling below the state averages. Additionally, Labelle Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.64% to 76.66% over the past three years, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Country Oaks Elementary and Edward A. Upthegrove Elementary, as well as schools in the neighboring Lee County district, Labelle Elementary consistently performs lower on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school are not solely due to district-level factors. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the unique socioeconomic needs of the student population will be crucial for improving the academic performance of Labelle Elementary School.

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.
