Summary:

Village Oaks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Immokalee, Florida, serving 496 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Village Oaks has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (73.19%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 41.14% to 85.19% Hispanic. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.8% to 31.7% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the 15.2% to 23.8% range of nearby schools. Academically, Village Oaks generally underperforms the Collier County and Florida state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels.

Despite the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.88% to 97.56% over the past 3 years, Village Oaks spends significantly more per student ($19,793 in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from $9,866 to $17,981 per student. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to ensure that additional funding is being used in the most impactful ways to support student learning.

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.
