JoAnn Leleck at Broad Acres Elementary

Summary:

JoAnn Leleck at Broad Acres Elementary is a public elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving 761 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, JoAnn Leleck at Broad Acres Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. The school's predominantly Hispanic student population, of which 89.75% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, performs significantly worse than their peers at nearby schools like Oak View Elementary, which serves a similar demographic but achieves much higher academic outcomes.

Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and better serve the needs of this student population. While the school faces significant challenges, the nearby schools, such as Roscoe R Nix Elementary and Cool Spring Elementary, which also serve predominantly minority and low-income students, generally outperform JoAnn Leleck at Broad Acres Elementary, suggesting that there may be successful strategies and approaches that could be replicated to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
