Sadler Elementary

Summary:

Sadler Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 768 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sadler Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 64.19% Hispanic, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 27.45% to 76.43% Hispanic students. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 36.7% over the past few years, higher than the nearby schools. Academically, Sadler Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the Orange County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 57% in Orange County and 55% statewide. Additionally, Sadler Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.14% to 65.23% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools, such as Lancaster Elementary, Winegard Elementary, and Catalina Elementary, also serve economically disadvantaged populations, Sadler Elementary's performance lags behind these schools on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that Sadler Elementary may face unique challenges that are not fully addressed by the district-level resources and support. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support tailored to the school's unique needs could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for its students.

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.
