Silver River Mentoring And Instruction

Summary:

Silver River Mentoring And Instruction is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Ocala, Florida, with a student population of 202 as of the 2022-2023 school year. 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.

Despite spending a relatively high amount of $9,221 per student, Silver River Mentoring And Instruction consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Florida high schools, with a statewide ranking between 650-775 out of 807 schools in recent years. The school has struggled with extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from just 2.4% to 19.4% over the past five years, and high chronic absenteeism rates reaching as high as 78.1% in the 2021-2022 school year. This is nearly double the district average and suggests significant challenges in engaging and retaining its predominantly low-income student population.

When comparing Silver River Mentoring And Instruction to other nearby high schools in the Marion School District, such as Belleview High School and Vanguard High School, the performance gap is stark. These higher-performing schools have significantly better academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism, indicating that the issues at Silver River Mentoring And Instruction may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized, including the school's very high student-teacher ratio of 40.4.

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.
