Renaissance Charter School At Plantation

Summary:

Renaissance Charter School At Plantation is a public charter elementary and middle school in Plantation, Florida, serving 1,056 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Broward County school district, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Renaissance Charter School At Plantation is a public charter school, it consistently underperforms compared to the nearby traditional public schools in terms of test scores and state rankings. For example, Ben Gamla Charter School South Broward, located just 0.18 miles away, outperforms Renaissance Charter School At Plantation across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are 10-20 percentage points lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.47%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 50.94% to 92.35% African American.

Despite these challenges, Renaissance Charter School At Plantation has some positive attributes, such as lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 21.8% to 44.8%. The school's spending per student has remained relatively consistent, ranging from $7,170 to $8,933 over the past few years, which is lower than the spending per student at some of the nearby public schools, which range from $10,205 to $16,033. These factors suggest that the school may have effective attendance policies or interventions in place, but the overall academic performance suggests the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gap.

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.
