Summary:

Seminole Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 428 students in grades PK-5 in Seminole, Florida, which is part of the Pinellas County School District. The school generally performs well compared to many of the surrounding schools, particularly in science and math, but has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism that may be impacting its overall academic performance.

Seminole Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (65.65%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 46.94% to 81.99% white students. It also has lower percentages of African American and Hispanic students than some nearby schools. The school's standardized test scores are generally better than the Pinellas County and Florida state averages, particularly in 5th grade science and 3rd-5th grade math, but its English Language Arts scores are more inconsistent, with some grades performing above and others below the district and state averages.

Seminole Elementary has seen a steady increase in spending per student, rising from $11,357 in 2019-2020 to $15,337 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools, which range from $8,746 to $14,652 per student. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has also significantly increased, from 13.2% in 2018-2019 to 32.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 10.3% to 28.8% chronic absenteeism. This concerning trend warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students are achieving at high levels.

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.
