Steinhatchee School

Summary:

Steinhatchee School is an elementary school located in Steinhatchee, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 124 students. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the surrounding schools and the state average in key subjects like 5th grade Science, 3rd grade English Language Arts, and 4th grade Math.

Despite facing challenges such as higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, Steinhatchee School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high level of per-student funding, which may contribute to its academic success. The school serves a predominantly white student population, with 97.58% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the nearby James M. Anderson Elementary School (78.8%) and Kinder Cub School Inc (71.96%). Additionally, Steinhatchee School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.31% to 72.38% over the past few years.

While Steinhatchee School outperforms the nearby schools in academic assessments, the other schools in the Dixie district have their own unique characteristics. For example, James M. Anderson Elementary School serves a more racially diverse student population, and Kinder Cub School Inc is a public charter school with a different funding and resource structure. Nonetheless, Steinhatchee School's consistent academic excellence, despite the challenges it faces, is a remarkable achievement that sets it apart in the region.

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.
