Pinellas Teleschool

Summary:

Pinellas Teleschool is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Clearwater, Florida, with a relatively small student population of 141. Despite being part of the Pinellas school district, which is ranked 23rd out of 68 districts in the state, Pinellas Teleschool faces significant challenges in terms of student outcomes.

The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (58.16%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a majority white student population. Pinellas Teleschool has had a 0% four-year graduation rate for the past several years, drastically lower than the 90%+ graduation rates of nearby high schools like Palm Harbor University High, Pinellas Park High, and Clearwater High. Additionally, Pinellas Teleschool has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 71.8% to 85.1%, significantly higher than the 15-45% rates of the surrounding schools.

Pinellas Teleschool students also perform poorly on state assessments, with only 17% proficient in Algebra 1 in 2023-2024, compared to 54-55% for the district and state. Despite these challenges, the school spends significantly more per student ($7,054 in 2022-2023) than the nearby high schools, which spend around $8,000-$9,000 per student. This suggests the school may be struggling to effectively utilize its resources, which could be exacerbated by the school's high student-teacher ratio of 35.2, much higher than the 20-23 ratios of the surrounding high schools.

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.
