Country Oaks Elementary School

Summary:

Country Oaks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Labelle, Florida, serving 893 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hendry School District.

While Country Oaks Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (70.66%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 24.82% to 68.76% Hispanic students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are lower than the district and state averages, and the school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.0% in 2019-2020 to 30.8% in 2022-2023. However, the nearby schools show a mix of academic performance, with some outperforming Country Oaks Elementary and others performing similarly or worse.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Country Oaks Elementary, ranging from 69.63% to 75.14% over the past few years, is comparable to the nearby schools, which also have high free and reduced lunch rates. This suggests that the communities served by these schools may face socioeconomic challenges that could contribute to the academic performance and other school-related 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.
