Deaf Middle School (Fsdb)

Summary:

Deaf Middle School (FSDB) is a small public middle school in St. Augustine, Florida, serving grades 5-8 and part of the St. Johns school district. With just 84 students, the school faces significant challenges, consistently performing well below state and district averages on standardized tests and experiencing high chronic absenteeism rates.

Compared to nearby middle schools like Alice B. Landrum Middle School, Pacetti Bay Middle School, Gamble Rogers Middle School, and Sebastian Middle School, Deaf Middle School (FSDB) lags significantly in academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 59% compared to the state averages of 45% to 67%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite spending significantly more per student, ranging from $35,860 to $41,158 per year, and having a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.8 to 6.3 students per teacher, Deaf Middle School (FSDB) is not seeing the expected academic improvements. The unique challenges faced by the school in serving a deaf and hard-of-hearing student population may require specialized resources and approaches to effectively support the needs of its students and improve their educational outcomes.

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.
