Chumuckla Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 83% of 6th graders proficient or better in FAST/Math, compared to 66% in the Santa Rosa district and 56% statewide. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.1% in 2019-2020 to 21.7% in 2020-2021, which is an area of concern. Additionally, Chumuckla Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.17% in 2020-2021 to 47.41% in 2022-2023, which is lower than some nearby schools like W.H. Rhodes Elementary (78.69%) and Jay Elementary (63.01%).

Despite these challenges, Chumuckla Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, ranking among the top 25% of Florida elementary schools. The school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $9,373 in 2021-2022 to $10,639 in 2020-2021, suggests it is allocating more resources to support student learning. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it has seen a slight increase in racial diversity over the past few years, with the percentage of non-white students rising from 9.87% in 2020-2021 to 10.63% in 2022-2023.

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.
