Slam Middle School stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (74.21%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 23.28% to 73.88% Hispanic. Despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student body, with 84.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school outperforms the Palm Beach and Florida averages in several key test areas, including 73% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 compared to 58% and 55% for the district and state, respectively. The school's 7th and 8th-grade students also scored 50% and 51% proficient or better in FAST/Math, outpacing the Palm Beach averages of 36% and 63%.

Slam Middle School's low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0% to 13.6% over the past few years, are also noteworthy, as they are lower than the surrounding schools, such as Jeaga Middle School, Bak Middle School Of The Arts, and Roosevelt Middle School. This suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to engage students and promote attendance, despite the high poverty rates among its 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.
