Lee Elementary School

Summary:

Lee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 197 students in grades PK-6 in Lee, Florida, which is part of the Madison District, ranked 62 out of 68 districts in the state with a 1-star rating.

Despite the district's low ranking, Lee Elementary School consistently outperforms the Madison District and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in 5th grade Science, 3rd grade ELA, and 5th grade Math compared to the district and state averages. The school also has a more diverse student population than nearby Madison Creative Arts Academy and Pinetta Elementary School. However, Lee Elementary School has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.6% to 43.4% over the past few years.

While Lee Elementary School has historically performed well, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 502 out of 2,247 Florida elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,479 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. This suggests that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 52.35% to 67.51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. Further analysis of the school's funding and resource allocation could provide valuable insights to support its continued 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.
