Treeline Elementary School

Q: Is Treeline Elementary School a good school?

Treeline Elementary School ranks 1507 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Treeline Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fort Myers, Florida, serving 1,135 students in grades PK-5. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students.

While Treeline Elementary has seen increased spending per student, from $7,351 in 2019-2020 to $9,612 in 2022-2023, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and its chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 9.9% in 2019-2020 to 25.2% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the state average of 15.6%. Treeline's statewide ranking has also declined, from 836 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,507 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by Lee County.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Six Mile Charter Academy, Tortuga Preserve Elementary School, and Gateway Elementary School, Treeline Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address its performance issues and better support its students' academic success.

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.
