Lake Eola Charter

Summary:

Lake Eola Charter is a public charter elementary and middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 206 students from kindergarten through 8th grade as part of the Orange County Public Schools district.

While Lake Eola Charter consistently outperforms the Orange County and Florida state averages in academic areas like Algebra 1 and 8th grade English Language Arts, the school struggles in 4th grade English Language Arts and Math, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and Asian students compared to nearby schools, but has seen a decline in the percentage of White students in recent years. Concerning trends include a significant increase in chronic absenteeism and a drop in the school's statewide ranking, which may be linked to its relatively low spending per student of $4,778 compared to nearby schools ranging from $5,736 to $19,977 per student.

When compared to high-performing nearby schools like Hamlin Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary, Lake Eola Charter lags behind in overall academic achievement, despite its strong performance in certain areas. The school's low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at only 1.46% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, as research has shown a correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement.

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.
