Summary:

Marianna K-8 School is a public elementary and middle school in Marianna, Florida, serving grades kindergarten through 8th with a diverse student population. Despite facing challenges such as a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students, the school consistently outperforms the Jackson School District and the state of Florida in several key academic areas.

Marianna K-8 School's standout performance is evident in its test scores, where it exceeds the district and state averages in EOC/Algebra 1 (83% proficient or better), EOC/Civics (73% proficient or better), 3rd Grade ELA (61% proficient or better), and 7th Grade Math (55% proficient or better). The school's higher per-student spending of $8,990, compared to the state average of $8,925, may contribute to its academic success. Nearby schools, such as Sneads Elementary School and Cottondale Elementary School, have similar demographic profiles and performance levels, with Sneads Elementary performing slightly better in some areas.

While Marianna K-8 School's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.4%, compared to the state average of 16.5%, is a concern that may be impacting its overall performance, the school's diverse student population and consistent academic achievements are noteworthy. The school's success in outperforming the district and state averages, despite facing challenges, suggests that it may have effective strategies and resources in place that could be worth further investigation and potentially replicated in other schools within the Jackson School District.

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.
