Fairglen Elementary School

Summary:

Fairglen Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cocoa, Florida, serving 617 students in grades PK-6. While part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in the state, Fairglen has struggled with consistently low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Fairglen's student population is significantly less diverse than nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of white students (70.34%). However, the school has a high rate of students (70.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending more per student ($11,208) than the state average, Fairglen's test scores lag far behind, with only 31% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA, compared to 59% in the district and 55% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 971 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,023 out of 2,240 in 2022-2023, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Robert L. Stevenson Elementary and Enterprise Elementary, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, despite serving similar student populations in terms of economic disadvantage. This suggests that the challenges faced by Fairglen Elementary may require targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its students and improve academic 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.
