Yankeetown School

Summary:

Yankeetown School is a public elementary and middle school serving grades PK-8 in Yankeetown, Florida, with a student population of 265. Despite facing challenges related to high poverty and chronic absenteeism, this school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math and English language arts.

Yankeetown School outperforms the Levy District and the state of Florida in several key test score metrics, including 91% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 (compared to 64% for Levy and 55% for Florida), 70% proficiency in 7th grade FAST/Math (compared to 58% for Levy and 47% for Florida), and 64% proficiency in 8th grade FAST/English Language Arts (compared to 31% for Levy and 47% for Florida). This academic success is particularly noteworthy given the school's high rates of free and reduced-price lunch (79.62%) and chronic absenteeism (48%), which are significantly higher than the surrounding Citrus and Marion district schools.

Another interesting finding is Yankeetown School's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.81%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Lecanto Primary School, Homosassa Elementary School, and Dunnellon Elementary School. This demographic difference may warrant further investigation to understand its potential impact on the school's academic success.

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.
