Q: Is Medart Elementary School a good school?

Medart Elementary School ranks 1002 nd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Medart Elementary School is a public elementary school in Crawfordville, Florida, serving 419 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Wakulla District, which is ranked 26 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Medart Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (84.73%) compared to nearby schools, as well as its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 44.4% to 49.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the Wakulla District and Florida state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades, though its 5th-grade science proficiency is higher. Medart Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students (around 54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to some nearby schools.

Compared to other schools in the area, Medart Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Riversink Elementary and Shadeville Elementary, which are both higher-performing schools within the Wakulla District. The Wakulla Coast Charter School, on the other hand, has even lower test scores and a higher chronic absenteeism rate than Medart Elementary. Additionally, Medart Elementary's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have declined from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, suggesting a potential trend of declining performance.

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.
