Blanche H. Daughtrey Elementary

Summary:

Blanche H. Daughtrey Elementary is a public elementary school in Bradenton, Florida, serving 758 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Manatee School District, which is ranked 34 out of 68 districts in the state.

Blanche H. Daughtrey Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (78.5%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 30-55% Hispanic. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 20-30 percentage points lower. Additionally, Blanche H. Daughtrey has much higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.6% to 48.7%, compared to 16.9% to 42.5% at nearby schools. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In contrast, nearby schools like William Monroe Rowlett Academy For Arts And Communication and Florine J Abel Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the challenges faced by Blanche H. Daughtrey Elementary are not necessarily shared by all schools in the Manatee School District, and that targeted interventions and support could lead to meaningful progress for the school.

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.
