As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

My child came into my care after graduating from kindergarten. Over the summer and going into 1st grade I had noticed she didn’t have foundational skills down for reading as to so much even know the sounds of the letters of the alphabet yet was given grades of high 90s-100s in reading and phonics. This could be both from the previous parent and my guess a school trying to build themselves by giving untrue grades. Long story short it has taken a lot of work between me and teacher at her new school to get her back up to grade level. Although the staff seemed extremely nice, I would not recommend this school if you’re worried about your child’s academic growth. Close Quote

MINA Charter School is a wonderful option to public schools in Lee and surrounding counties. Just like every school during the pandemic, navigating the new normal has been challenging. But the entire MINA staff considers policy AND what is best for the students and parents who are apart of their school. I admire their efforts to hire reputable staff and more so, staff that represent the community. MINA feels like a family, not just a school. We enjoy our child attending here and can't wait till our younger children can begin their educational journey here as well. Close Quote

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
