Fox Hollow Elementary School

Summary:

Fox Hollow Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Port Richey, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 653. The school is part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 42 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Fox Hollow Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a much higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools like Richey Elementary, Moon Lake Elementary, and Cotee River Elementary. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 20-34%, compared to the district's 47-52% and the state's 53-60%. Additionally, Fox Hollow has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.52% to 88.36% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite higher spending per student compared to the district and state averages, ranging from $9,265 to $11,063 over the past four school years, Fox Hollow Elementary School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1,337 out of 2,029 Florida elementary schools in the 2012-2013 school year to 2,176 out of 2,256 in the 2023-2024 school year. This indicates a consistent underperformance compared to other schools in the state, and suggests that the school may face unique challenges that require targeted interventions to address the issues of high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and the needs of its 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.
