Wyomina Park Elementary School

Summary:

Wyomina Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Ocala, Florida, with a student population of 645. The school is part of the Marion School District, which is ranked 61 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wyomina Park Elementary stands out for several key factors. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (43.26%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 12.84% to 48.51% African American. Additionally, Wyomina Park has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.8% to 49.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 9.6% to 44.8%. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Marion district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 44% in the Marion district and 53% statewide.

While Wyomina Park struggles with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (82.17% to 83.84% receive free or reduced-price lunch), the nearby Madison Street Academy Of Visual And Performing Arts stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 5% of Florida elementary schools. This stark contrast in performance suggests that addressing the underlying issues at Wyomina Park, such as chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, could be crucial for improving student outcomes, even with the school's higher spending per student (between $10,530 and $11,300).

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.
