Lakeside Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeside Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Orange Park, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 817. The school is part of the Clay District, which is ranked 10th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Lakeside Elementary is part of the high-performing Clay District, it lags behind many of the nearby schools in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and school rankings. For example, Fleming Island Elementary and Orange Park Elementary, both within a few miles of Lakeside, consistently outperform Lakeside across various metrics. Lakeside Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, and the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% in 2019-2020 to 27.1% in 2022-2023.

The significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Lakeside Elementary, from 40.22% in 2020-2021 to 99.63% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school's population is facing increasing economic challenges. This may be contributing to the school's declining performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates, as the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 484th out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,251st out of 2,256 in 2023-2024.

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.
