Pinar Elementary

Summary:

Pinar Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 377 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pinar Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (77.19%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 33.13% to 85.27%. The school also faces challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (34.3% to 51.0%) and lower test scores than the Orange County and Florida averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Pinar Elementary's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 47%, compared to 61% for Orange County and 53% for Florida. Additionally, Pinar Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.75% to 74.54%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 45.96% to 81.98%.

While Pinar Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, there are some exceptions. For instance, Deerwood Elementary, which is only 1.87 miles away, has significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate, despite serving a more diverse student population. Pinar Elementary's higher spending per student, ranging from $11,090 to $13,625 over the past few years, suggests that the school may need to examine how it is allocating its resources to support student learning and address the unique needs of its student population.

My 1st grade grandson has learning disabilities and for the second year in a row at Pinear, my daughter has recently found out his IEP (for children with disabilities) has not been followed and he will not be going to second grade. In fact, she was told that he is doing kindergarten level work and she just found that out also. Needless to say, she is looking to move him to another school. One that will provide the special care he needs. He was suppose to be receiving occupational therapy the past two years and again, just recently found out he hasn't been getting it. His teacher's comments regarding him not being up to level is that he is only one child and she doesn't have time to work with him. The school gets extra money for children with disabilities so maybe they need to get her a helper! Close Quote

pienso que las escuelas la hacen los maestro junto con sus alumnos pero desafortunadamente en esta escuela no todos los maestros son de calidad podriamos contarlos con los dedos de una sola mano ya que hay maestros jovenes que no saben dirijir a los ninos pretendiendo que pueden obligarlo a pensar como un adulto.pienso que todos tenemos una manera diferente de ensenar pero con pasiencia y con respeto al nino como si fuera tu propio hijo,uno de los problemas con estos maestros es que asumen y pretende que el nene ya sepa como pronunciar palabras o escribir claro y entendido,uno como padre le alluda al hijo a entender y en todo lo que pueda para verlo salir adelante como un triunfador!en cambio esta maestras todabia no aprenden a ensenar y la frustracion se la puedes ver al nino que no entiende por que simplemente la que dise ser maestra realmente no sabe ensenar...

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.
