Skyview Elementary School

Summary:

Skyview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pinellas Park, Florida, serving 595 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more varied than nearby schools like Starkey Elementary and Westgate Elementary.

While Skyview's diversity is a strength, the school faces some challenges. It has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24.7% to 29.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the Pinellas district and state averages, as well as most nearby schools. Academically, Skyview's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 48%, compared to 62% for the Pinellas district and 55% for the state.

These challenges may be linked to Skyview's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.38% to 74.29% over the past few years, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $9,882 in 2019-2020 to $12,739 in 2022-2023, indicates efforts to provide additional resources and support. While Skyview's performance lags behind the district and state, some nearby schools, such as Starkey Elementary and Westgate Elementary, have stronger academic results, offering potential models for improvement.

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.
