Pinecrest Glades Preparatory Academy is ranked among the top high schools in Florida, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past five years.

Compared to other high-performing charter schools in the area, such as Doral Academy Charter High School and Archimedean Upper Conservatory, Pinecrest Glades Preparatory Academy performs well academically but has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and lower school ranking. The school's racial composition, with a very high percentage of Hispanic students, may indicate a need to ensure that the curriculum and teaching methods are culturally responsive and inclusive.

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.
