Mascotte Elementary School

Q: Is Mascotte Elementary School a good school?

Mascotte Elementary School ranks 1064 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mascotte Elementary School is a public charter school in Mascotte, Florida, serving 855 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Lake District, which is ranked 32 out of 68 districts in Florida and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Mascotte Elementary School has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.1%) compared to nearby schools. However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.1% to 25.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 0.1% rate at Imagine Schools At South Lake and 13.3% at Cypress Ridge Elementary School. Academically, Mascotte's test scores are generally on par with the district and state averages, but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Imagine Schools At South Lake and Cypress Ridge Elementary School.

While Mascotte Elementary School is performing at a relatively average level compared to the surrounding schools in the Lake District, the high chronic absenteeism rate and lower test scores compared to some nearby schools are areas of concern. However, the school's diverse student population and increased spending per student, from $8,122 in 2019-2020 to $11,216 in 2022-2023, may provide opportunities for improvement in the future.

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.
