Pineview Elementary School

Q: Is Pineview Elementary School a good school?

Pineview Elementary School ranks 1310 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pineview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tallahassee, Florida, serving 362 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Leon District, which is ranked 48 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Pineview Elementary has a predominantly African American student population, with 82.6% of students identifying as African American.

Pineview Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22% to 49.3%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools. Additionally, Pineview's test scores are consistently lower than the Leon District and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 32% of 5th-grade students at Pineview were proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 51% in the district and 53% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.16% to 82.6%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

Despite the school's challenges, Pineview Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,319 to $13,909 over the past few years. This is higher than the nearby schools, such as The School of Arts & Sciences Centre and Kate Sullivan Elementary School, which have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and that examining how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning is crucial.

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.
