Glades Academy Inc

Summary:

Glades Academy Inc is a public charter elementary school located in Pahokee, Florida, serving grades K-8 with a student population of 267. The school is part of the Palm Beach school district, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glades Academy Inc stands out for several key factors. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (68.16%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 21.08% to 92.52% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 56.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which have rates ranging from 26.6% to 53.9%. Academically, Glades Academy Inc's test scores are consistently lower than the Palm Beach district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with some grades having proficiency rates as low as 15% and 12%.

Despite spending more per student ($11,439 in 2022-2023) than the surrounding schools, which range from $12,066 to $21,910 per student, Glades Academy Inc's academic performance is significantly lower. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student engagement, may be contributing to the school's challenges. However, the data also suggests that there may be pockets of academic success, such as the 100% proficiency rate in Algebra 1 and the relatively strong performance in 7th and 8th grade math, which could be leveraged to improve the school's overall performance.

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.
