Shingle Creek Elementary

Summary:

Shingle Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 723 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating.

Shingle Creek Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentages of African American (50.9%) and Hispanic (42.32%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a more even racial distribution. The school also faces challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (25.3% to 34.0%) and consistently underperforming on English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency tests compared to the Orange County and Florida state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Shingle Creek's 5th-grade science proficiency was 24%, compared to 61% for Orange County and 53% for the state. Additionally, 76.49% of Shingle Creek's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Shingle Creek Elementary struggles, some nearby schools, such as Catalina Elementary, Eagles Nest Elementary, and Eccleston Elementary, also face challenges with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the issues faced by Shingle Creek Elementary may be reflective of broader challenges within the local education system. However, Shingle Creek's relatively high per-student spending of $10,619 in the 2022-2023 school year indicates that the school may have access to resources that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes, if the specific factors contributing to its underperformance can be identified and addressed.

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.
