Patricia Sullivan Metropolitan Ministries Partnership School

Summary:

Patricia Sullivan Metropolitan Ministries Partnership School is a small elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 76 students in grades K-5 within the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a lower-performing district, Patricia Sullivan Metropolitan Ministries Partnership School stands out as a high-achieving school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on academic assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 63-80% of its students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, compared to just 49-55% for the Hillsborough district and 53-58% for the state of Florida. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was also significantly higher at 70%, compared to 47% for the district and 53% for the state. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.3% to 40.8% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

Further analysis reveals that the school's strong academic performance may be attributed to the additional resources and support it receives, as evidenced by its relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $20,318 to $27,159 in recent years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Graham Elementary, Washington Elementary, and Just Elementary schools, which have significantly lower proficiency rates. The school's success could provide valuable insights for the district to share best practices and strategies with other low-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.
