Stanley Switlik Elementary School

Summary:

Stanley Switlik Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marathon, Florida, serving 592 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Monroe School District, which is ranked 21 out of 68 districts in the state.

While Stanley Switlik has a diverse student population, with over 50% Hispanic enrollment, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years. Chronic absenteeism has spiked from 13.8% to 40.7%, much higher than the 13.4% rate at the nearby Big Pine Academy. Academically, Stanley Switlik's proficiency rates on state assessments lag 5-15 percentage points behind the district and state averages. Additionally, 69.09% of Stanley Switlik students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to just 33.66% at Big Pine Academy.

These factors suggest that socioeconomic challenges may be impacting student outcomes at Stanley Switlik. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 512 out of 2,118 schools in 2017-2018 to 1,429 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, indicating its performance has not kept pace with other schools in Florida. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and supporting the school's economically disadvantaged population will be crucial for Stanley Switlik to improve its academic performance and overall standing.

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.
