Passport Charter

Summary:

Passport Charter is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Orlando, Florida, serving 177 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. 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.

Passport Charter stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (79.66%) compared to nearby schools like Azalea Park Elementary (50.96%) and Chickasaw Elementary (74.75%). Additionally, Passport Charter has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.1% to 29.9% over the past few years, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, Passport Charter's test scores are generally lower than the Orange County and Florida averages across various subjects and grade levels, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools over the past several years.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Passport Charter, with 60.8% to 70% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to its peers. However, the school's strengths in certain areas, such as its high proficiency rate in Civics/EOC, suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and support. Overall, Passport Charter's unique student population and academic challenges present both opportunities and obstacles for the school to address in order to better serve its community.

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.
