Immokalee Middle School

Summary:

Immokalee Middle School is a public middle school in Immokalee, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,443 students. The school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 14th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Immokalee Middle School faces several key challenges. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.48%) compared to nearby schools like Oakridge Middle School and Corkscrew Middle School. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.1% to 32.7% over the past few years, much higher than the nearby schools. Academically, Immokalee Middle School consistently underperforms the Collier County and Florida state averages in standardized tests, except for EOC/Algebra 1. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.05% to 98.42%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Immokalee Middle School has a higher per-student spending compared to the nearby schools, ranging from $9,500 to $11,665 per student over the past few years. This suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve overall student outcomes. While the school faces significant hurdles, the higher per-student spending and its performance in certain subject areas indicate that with the right strategies and resources, Immokalee Middle School can work towards improving the educational experiences and achievements of its diverse student body.

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.
