Timberlin Creek Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages in standardized test scores, with 77% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 76% in the district and 55% statewide. The school also has a more diverse student population than many nearby schools, with 68.42% White, 14.65% Hispanic, 7.7% Asian, and 2.67% African American students. However, the school has seen a rise in chronic absenteeism, from 4.0% in 2019-2020 to 14.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average of 11.6% but lower than some nearby schools like Bartram Springs Elementary (24.2%) and Mill Creek Academy (12.5%).

Timberlin Creek Elementary's strong academic performance, diverse student population, and higher per-student spending of $8,795 (compared to the Florida average of $8,019) make it a standout school in the area. While some nearby schools like Julington Creek Elementary and Durbin Creek Elementary also demonstrate high achievement, Timberlin Creek's consistent excellence and commitment to diversity are key factors that differentiate it from the surrounding 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.
