Academically, Collier Charter Academy's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the Collier County and Florida state averages, though the school has shown strengths in Biology 1 and Civics end-of-course exams.

The increasing per-student spending at Collier Charter Academy, from $6,476 in 2019-2020 to $9,866 in 2022-2023, suggests the school is investing resources to support its students. While this is higher than the spending at some nearby public schools, it will be important to analyze how these funds are being utilized and whether they are translating into improved academic outcomes. Collier Charter Academy's diverse student population and its focus on serving a wider range of students could be seen as a strength, presenting opportunities to leverage this diversity and explore innovative teaching methods or support programs.

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.
