Azalea Park Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (50.96%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 33.25% to 79.66% Hispanic students. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 22.5% in 2018-2019 to 35.3% in 2022-2023, much higher than the 19.5% to 48.1% range at surrounding schools.

While the school's spending per student has increased, from $12,227 in 2019-2020 to $14,034 in 2022-2023, its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these challenges.

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.
