Middleton-Burney Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.2% to 48.9% over the past two years, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school also has a majority Hispanic student population, in contrast to the higher percentage of White students at nearby schools like Bunnell Elementary School and Flagler Virtual Instruction Kg-5. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the 5th-grade science proficiency rate at just 28% compared to the state average of 53% and the district average of 38%.

When compared to nearby schools, Middleton-Burney Elementary School stands out as an underperformer. For example, Kelley Smith Elementary School, also in the Putnam District, has a higher statewide ranking, a 3-star rating, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better test scores. Similarly, Rymfire Elementary School, located in the Flagler District, outperforms Middleton-Burney in these key areas. These stark differences suggest that there may be systemic issues within the Putnam District that need to be addressed to support the success of all students.

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.
