Spring Creek Charter School

Summary:

Spring Creek Charter School is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Paisley, Florida, serving 630 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, and is part of the Lake District, which is ranked 32 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Spring Creek Charter School outperforms the Lake District and Florida state averages in certain subject areas, such as Algebra 1 EOC (85% proficient or better) and 8th grade Math (65% proficient or better), it struggles in others, like Civics EOC (46% proficient or better) and 5th and 8th grade Science (54% and 37% proficient or better, respectively). Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (80.95%) compared to the more diverse student populations at surrounding schools like Edith I. Starke Elementary School and Woodward Avenue Elementary School.

Another area of concern is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates at Spring Creek Charter School, ranging from 32.3% to 41.6% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools, such as Eustis Heights Elementary School and Citrus Grove Elementary School, which have chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.0% to 39.6%. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.87% to 99.84% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

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.
