Fuguitt Elementary School

Summary:

Fuguitt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Largo, Florida, serving 479 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pinellas District, which is ranked 23 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Fuguitt Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (19.62%) and Hispanic (19.83%) students. However, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 27.1% to 38.2%) and generally lower test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the Pinellas District and Florida state averages, particularly in 4th grade. Fuguitt's statewide ranking has also trended downward in recent years, from a high of 701 out of 2,219 Florida elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,026 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.

While Fuguitt's performance is generally lower than the district and state, some nearby schools, such as Frontier Elementary and Walsingham Elementary, have higher test scores and better overall performance, despite serving similar student populations. The higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's racial diversity may be contributing factors to Fuguitt's lower academic performance, but the school also has some strengths, such as its relatively low student-teacher ratio (12.9) and better performance in 5th grade Science compared to the district and state, which could be leveraged to drive improvement.

Open Quote Terrible teaching plans, gaslighting from kids, especially from teachers that would not help, and dealt with racism. Yes it’s relevant because staff was very neglectful of it. Didn’t want the bad rap I guess, especially since it’s in FL. Close Quote

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.
