Village Green Environmental Studies School

Summary:

Village Green Environmental Studies School is an elementary school in Port St. Lucie, Florida, serving 560 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, and is part of the St. Lucie school district, which is ranked 47th out of 68 districts in Florida.

While Village Green has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a racial breakdown of 31.96% White, 25.18% African American, 31.25% Hispanic, and 10.18% two or more races, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, at 31.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the St. Lucie district average of 30.5% and the state average. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Village Green also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 78.39% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 40.49% to 76.82%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Morningside Elementary School, which is only about 1.5 miles away, Village Green is underperforming academically. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 596 out of 2,087 Florida elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a ranking of 1,531 out of 2,256 in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite its focus on environmental studies, there is no clear evidence that this has had a significant impact on student outcomes, as the school's performance metrics are similar to other elementary schools in the area.

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.
