Eccleston Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (86.83%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 42.5% to 86.63% African American. The school also consistently struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.5% to 41.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 26.6% to 51.9% range of nearby schools. Academically, Eccleston Elementary underperforms compared to the Orange County and Florida state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math around 30-42%, compared to 54-62% for the county and 53-60% for the state. Despite having the highest spending per student, ranging from $11,067 to $17,955, the school's performance lags behind the surrounding schools, which spend $7,299 to $15,496 per student.

While the challenges at Eccleston Elementary are significant, there are some bright spots in the area. The nearby Orange Center Elementary, Catalina Elementary, and Orlo Vista Elementary schools, while also serving predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged populations, generally outperform Eccleston Elementary on key metrics. Additionally, the presence of Florida Virtual Elementary School, a high-performing virtual school option in the area, offers an alternative educational pathway for families. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these schools could provide valuable insights for Eccleston Elementary to consider in its efforts to improve student outcomes.

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.
