Harbour View Elementary School

Summary:

Harbour View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Summerfield, Florida, serving 819 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Harbour View Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 42.2% compared to the state average of 17.3%. The school also consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with 5th-grade proficiency rates in Statewide Science/Science (43%) and 3rd-grade proficiency rates in FAST/English Language Arts (41%) and FAST/Math (42%) falling well below state averages. Additionally, 70.57% of Harbour View students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.5 is also higher than some nearby schools, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.

While Harbour View Elementary struggles in several key metrics, some nearby schools, such as Shady Hill Elementary School and The Villages Elementary Of Lady Lake School, perform better on standardized tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools. Additionally, Harbour View Elementary spends more per student ($10,686 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning.

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.
