Morgan Woods Elementary School

Summary:

Morgan Woods Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 480 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hillsborough School District. The school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of Hispanic students, consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, and consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state.

Morgan Woods has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (79.58%) compared to surrounding schools like Crestwood Elementary and Davis Elementary, which range from 65.15% to 84.44% Hispanic students. The school also has very high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 26.3% to 41.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 14.7% to 43.2% range of nearby schools. Additionally, Morgan Woods consistently underperforms the Hillsborough district and the state of Florida on standardized test scores, with only 26-56% of students proficient in ELA and Math compared to 49-56% and 53-60% for the district and state, respectively.

These challenges are likely linked to the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.33% to 89.15% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 8.14% to 82.54% range of surrounding schools. Despite these difficulties, Morgan Woods has shown some signs of improvement, with its SchoolDigger rating increasing from 1 to 2 stars between the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. With targeted interventions and support, the school may have the potential to address these issues and improve outcomes for its students.

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.
