Young Parent Education Program

Summary:

The Young Parent Education Program is a small public high school in Fort Myers, Florida, serving 54 students in grades 6-12. With a predominantly Hispanic student population, the school faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools and the state average.

The Young Parent Education Program has consistently had a 0% four-year graduation rate, which is much lower than the state and district averages. The school also experiences extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 76.3% to 95.3% over the past five years, far exceeding the surrounding schools and the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7% of students were proficient or better in 10th grade English Language Arts, compared to 47% in the Lee County district and 53% statewide.

Despite the high per-student spending at the Young Parent Education Program, ranging from $27,571 to $42,998 over the past four years, the school's performance is consistently lower than the nearby Coronado High School, Fort Myers High School, and Dunbar High School. The unique challenges faced by the young parent student population may contribute to these performance gaps, presenting opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
