Crews Lake Middle School stands out in several ways compared to nearby schools.

The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.9% in 2019-2020 to 33.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, Crews Lake Middle School's test scores are generally lower than the Pasco District and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below the district and state levels.

When comparing Crews Lake Middle School to the nearby schools in the Pasco District, it stands out as the lowest-performing school in terms of state rankings and test scores. Schools like Charles S. Rushe Middle School and Pine View Middle School significantly outperform Crews Lake Middle School across various metrics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Crews Lake Middle School suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and resource allocation could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.
