Miles Elementary School

Summary:

Miles Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 675 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population is predominantly Hispanic (58.96%) and African American (28.89%).

Miles Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (46.5% to 51.0%), significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, and a very high percentage of students (75.7% to 93.78%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating poor overall academic performance. Nearby schools in the Hillsborough School District, such as Witter Elementary, Muller Elementary Magnet, and Mort Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage, suggesting systemic challenges in this area of Tampa.

Despite the high levels of economic disadvantage at Miles Elementary, the school's per-student spending is relatively high, ranging from $9,895 to $11,847 in recent years. This suggests that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14.5 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools, indicating that class size may not be the primary driver of the school's academic challenges. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as attendance, family support, and instructional quality, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Miles Elementary.

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.
