College Park Middle

Summary:

College Park Middle is a public middle school located in Orlando, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 760 students. 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 from SchoolDigger.

College Park Middle faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 68.68% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 10.39% to 86.13% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 38.6% to 42.1% over the past few years, and consistently lower test scores than the Orange County and Florida state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in FAST/English Language Arts for 7th grade was 17%, compared to 47% for Orange County and 50% for Florida. Additionally, College Park Middle has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.36% to 74.21% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While some nearby schools, such as Carver Middle and Robinswood Middle, also have high percentages of African American and economically disadvantaged students, they generally outperform College Park Middle on test scores and other metrics. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's underperformance. In contrast, the nearby Orlando Gifted Academy serves a more diverse student population with a much higher percentage of high-performing students, as evidenced by their exceptional test scores and statewide ranking.

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.
