Summary:

Felix A Williams Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stuart, Florida, serving 531 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Martin County School District, which is ranked 33 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Felix A Williams Elementary consistently outperforms the Martin County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, with 67% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 55% for the county and state, and 79% proficient or better in math versus 60% for the county and state. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 12.4% in 2018-2019 to 16.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Citrus Grove Elementary and Palm City Elementary.

The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 40.49%, compared to higher rates at nearby schools like Mariposa Elementary and J.D. Parker School of Technology, which have over 70% of students on free or reduced-price lunch. These findings suggest that Felix A Williams Elementary School is a high-performing institution, but the racial and socioeconomic disparities compared to nearby schools warrant further investigation and potential intervention by the school and district.

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.
