Umatilla Elementary School

Summary:

Umatilla Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 660 students in grades PK-5 in Umatilla, Florida, which is part of the Lake District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces some challenges, including higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and test scores that lag behind state averages in English Language Arts and Math.

Umatilla Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 10.1% in 2019-2020 to 29.8% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores, while generally on par with the district, fall behind the state averages across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 45% in 3rd grade ELA, 48% in 4th grade ELA, and 48% in 5th grade ELA, compared to state averages of 55%, 53%, and 55%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.3% in 2022-2023, which could indicate a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, Umatilla Elementary's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as Triangle Elementary and Eustis Heights Elementary, in certain test score metrics, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Round Lake Elementary and Pinecrest Academy Tavares. Additionally, Umatilla Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 582 out of 2,112 Florida elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,192 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance has not kept pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
