Summary:
The 34114 zip code in Collier County, Florida is home to two schools - Manatee Middle School and Manatee Elementary School. While the middle school demonstrates strong academic performance in certain subjects, the elementary school serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and both schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism.
Collier district data shows that Manatee Middle School outperforms the district and state averages in Algebra 1 and Civics end-of-course exams, indicating academic strengths in these areas. However, the middle school underperforms in 8th grade science and English Language Arts. In contrast, Manatee Elementary School underperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Math across 3rd-5th grades, though it performs better in 5th grade science.
Both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly exceeding the state average. Additionally, Manatee Elementary School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (72.95%) compared to the district and state, suggesting a lower-income student population. The funding and resource disparities between the two schools, with Manatee Elementary receiving more per-student funding and having a lower student-teacher ratio, may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed.
