Q: Is Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary School a good school?

Summary:

Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Sarasota, Florida, part of the Sarasota school district. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, underperformance on standardized tests, and a declining statewide ranking.

Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Manatee district and Florida state averages, with a 29.9% rate in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district's 25.1% and the state's average. The school also generally underperforms compared to the district and state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with its 3rd grade ELA proficiency at 45% in 2023-2024, compared to 51% for the Manatee district and 55% for the state. Additionally, Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.38% to 74.46% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Manatee district, Marjorie G. Kinnan Elementary generally underperforms. For example, Tara Elementary, located about 3.5 miles away, consistently outperforms Marjorie G. Kinnan in test scores and has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 1096 out of 2064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1322 out of 2256 in 2023-2024, suggests it is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. These challenges indicate the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resource allocation to better support student 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.
