Eagles Nest Charter Academy

Summary:

Eagles Nest Charter Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Lauderhill, Florida, serving 284 students in grades K-12 within the Broward County school district.

While Eagles Nest serves a predominantly African American student population (91.9%), the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 17.8% to 30.3% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than surrounding schools. Academically, Eagles Nest students perform well below the Broward County and Florida state averages, with only 15% proficiency in 5th grade science compared to 52-53% for the district and state. Additionally, 100% of Eagles Nest students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, Eagles Nest's performance lags behind other alternative schools in the area, such as Broward Math And Science Schools and Cypress Run Alternative Center, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the high-needs student population, Eagles Nest's per-student spending is lower than some of the other alternative schools in the area, such as Cross Creek School and Pine Ridge Alternative Center, which spend over $70,000 per student. These factors suggest that Eagles Nest Charter Academy may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

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.
