Maynard A Traviss Technical Academy

Summary:

Maynard A Traviss Technical Academy is a public high school located in Lakeland, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 140 students. The school is part of the Polk School District, which is ranked 57th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maynard A Traviss Technical Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida high schools, with a statewide ranking between 641-678 out of 792-807 schools over the past 4 years. Its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school has also experienced a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.6% in 2018-2019 to 52.0% in 2022-2023, and a shockingly low four-year graduation rate of only 10.0%. In contrast, nearby high schools like Lakeland Senior High School, George W. Jenkins Senior High, and Polk State College Collegiate High School all have significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,249 in 2022-2023, the challenges at Maynard A Traviss Technical Academy suggest that the issue is not solely a matter of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized to support student success. The diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (45%) and African American (13.57%) students, and the high proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (50.71% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) present an opportunity for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes, attendance, and graduation rates.

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.
