Mango Elementary School

Summary:

Mango Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seffner, Florida, serving 742 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Hillsborough County School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state, Mango Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

Mango Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 45.7%, which is much higher than the rates at nearby schools like Mintz Elementary (27.8%) and Independence Academy (22.0%). Academically, Mango consistently underperforms the district and state averages, with only 23% of 5th graders proficient in Science, compared to 47% in the Hillsborough district and 53% statewide. Additionally, 81.27% of Mango's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Limona Elementary (54.67%).

While Mango Elementary's per-student spending of $10,258 is higher than the state average, it is lower than some nearby schools, such as Folsom Elementary ($13,219) and Seffner Elementary ($12,951). Mango's performance has been declining, with the school ranking 2163 out of 2240 Florida elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. These challenges suggest that Mango Elementary may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
