Hunt Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

Additionally, Hunt Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75% to 82.03% in recent years, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The higher-performing nearby schools, such as Langston Road Elementary and Quail Run Elementary, also have higher per-student spending, which could provide more resources and support for students. Additionally, Hunt Elementary School has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby schools, ranging from 14.7 to 17.4 students per teacher in recent years, which may contribute to the school's lower academic 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.
