The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic student body (80.72% in 2022-2023), and has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 20% of Osceola middle schools in 2018-2019 to the top 5% in 2023-2024.

Slam consistently outperforms the Osceola district and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, with 86% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45% in the district and 54% statewide. In math, Slam had 98% of 6th graders proficient or better, compared to 39% in the district and 56% statewide.

Slam's success can be attributed to its lower chronic absenteeism rates, smaller student-teacher ratios, and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Narcoossee Middle School, St. Cloud Middle School, and South Creek Middle. These factors likely allow for more personalized attention and support for students, contributing to Slam's exceptional academic outcomes, particularly among its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
