Elliott Point Elementary School

Q: Is Elliott Point Elementary School a good school?

Elliott Point Elementary School ranks 1278 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Elliott Point Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 597. The school is part of the Okaloosa School District, which is ranked 12th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Elliott Point Elementary School has a diverse student population and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools like Florosa Elementary School, Destin Elementary School, and Eglin Elementary School, it faces some unique challenges. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.7% to 31.8% in recent years, compared to the 11.5% to 27.6% range at other local schools. Additionally, Elliott Point Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the Okaloosa district and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 5-20 percentage points below the district and state.

Another notable difference is the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.79% to 73.13% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the 18.74% to 79.47% range at the nearby schools. Despite these challenges, Elliott Point Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that factors beyond just demographics and funding may be contributing to the school's performance. The data indicates that the school could benefit from targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism, improve academic performance, and support its high-needs student population.

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.
