Orchard View Elementary School

Summary:

Orchard View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Delray Beach, Florida, serving 596 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out from nearby schools like J.C. Mitchell Elementary and Plumosa School Of The Arts due to its significantly higher percentage of African American students, higher chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores, and higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Orchard View's student population is 56.21% African American, compared to nearby schools that range from 2.26% to 37.56% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 27.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby schools' range of 16.2% to 28.4%. Academically, Orchard View's test scores lag behind the Palm Beach School District and Florida state averages, with only 39% of 5th-graders proficient in science, compared to 53% for the district and state.

Additionally, Orchard View has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.01% to 89.47% over the past few years, much higher than the nearby schools' range of 16.96% to 78.81%. Despite the higher spending per student at Orchard View, ranging from $12,591 to $16,383, the school's academic performance lags behind its neighbors, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. These findings highlight the unique challenges and opportunities Orchard View faces in providing a high-quality education to 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.
