15 of 36 F’s Belong to Charter Schools Among Florida Elementary and Middle Schools
The grades are said to be preliminary until September. Here is an Excel file. Some key takeaways:
*Only 3 of 36 F schools are designated as Title One Schools – a funding status which indicates these schools are in high poverty areas. The 3 schools which were not Title One Schools were charter schools. Povertydoesmatter.
*A second benchmark for poverty is the number of children who qualify for free and/or reduced lunch. 20 of 36 F schools had 90 % or more. 31 of 36 had 70 % or more. The three schools which did not qualify as Title One Schools were the only ones with less than 50 percent qualifying for free and/or reduced lunch.
*19 of 36 F schools had minority rates of 90 % or more. 32 of 36 had minority rates of 70 % or more.
*Imagine Schools – who gets beat up pretty good in this blog – has two F schools on the list from Pinellas
