Hosford Elementary Junior High School

Summary:

Hosford Elementary Junior High School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Hosford, Florida, with a student population of 355. The school is part of the Liberty District, which is ranked 9th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hosford Elementary stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.55%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools, such as Gadsden Elementary Magnet School and George W. Munroe Elementary School. The school also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.1% to 60.9% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the state average. However, Hosford Elementary generally outperforms the Liberty District and the state of Florida in various standardized test subjects, such as Algebra 1, Civics, and 3rd-8th grade English Language Arts and Math.

Hosford Elementary's higher per-student spending, ranging from $10,305 to $12,608 over the past few years, and lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 14.5, may contribute to its academic performance, which is stronger than the nearby schools in the Gadsden District. While the school's racial homogeneity and chronic absenteeism rates are areas of concern, Hosford Elementary appears to be a relatively high-performing school within the Liberty District, with strengths in academic achievement and resource allocation.

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.
