Hungerford Elementary

Q: Is Hungerford Elementary a good school?

Hungerford Elementary ranks 1164 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hungerford Elementary is a public elementary school located in Eatonville, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 271. 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.

Hungerford Elementary stands out from nearby schools like Dommerich Elementary, Lake Orienta Elementary School, and others in several key areas. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (83.76%) and very high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.2% to 36.1% over the past few years. Hungerford Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the district and state averages, with only 40-59% of students proficient or better in these subjects. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.8% to 83.13%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Hungerford Elementary's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,562 to $17,064 over the past few years, suggests that there is potential for the school to improve its academic outcomes with the right strategies and resources. However, the school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing from 2 stars to 1 star. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage through targeted interventions and support services could be crucial in helping Hungerford Elementary improve its academic performance and better serve 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.
