Greco Middle Magnet School

Summary:

Greco Middle Magnet School is a public middle school in Temple Terrace, Florida, serving around 700 students in grades 6-8. While it is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in Florida, Greco Middle Magnet School faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

One key difference is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of African American students (52.71%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 19.1% to 39.44% African American students. Additionally, Greco Middle Magnet School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 51.9% to 60.8% in recent years, much higher than the 12.6% to 62.4% range of nearby schools. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math around 20-27%, compared to the district and state averages of 47-54%.

While Greco Middle Magnet School has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,691 to $11,537 in recent years, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. In fact, nearby schools like Terrace Community Middle School and Williams Middle Magnet School perform significantly better, with much higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Greco Middle Magnet School, ranging from 77% to 90.19%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
