Q: Is Pinecrest Academy Four Corners a good school?

Pinecrest Academy Four Corners ranks 1293 rd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pinecrest Academy Four Corners is a public charter elementary and middle school in Clermont, Florida, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. With a diverse student population, the school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math and science, but faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism.

Pinecrest Academy Four Corners consistently outperforms the Lake District and Florida state averages in several key test score metrics, including End of Course (EOC) Exams, 8th Grade Math, and 7th Grade Math. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.3% in 2019-2020 to 37.7% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Lake Pointe Academy and Sawgrass Bay Elementary School.

Pinecrest Academy Four Corners has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.61% to 62.35% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has seen a decrease in spending per student, from $9,453 in 2020-2021 to $7,778 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby schools. This, combined with a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 25.5 in 2022-2023, may impact the resources and support available to students, contributing to the school's challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting student learning.

This school has a lot of bullying and children with anger issues. They also have a terrible curriculum. They should use the Pinecrest lakes model to improve and have teachers that know how to teach age appropriate curriculum. Close Quote

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.
