Summary:

Hope Charter is a public charter elementary school serving 428 students in grades K-8 in Ocoee, Florida. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, Asian, and other racial groups.

Hope Charter has consistently performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 15% of Florida elementary schools in recent years and maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students significantly outperform the state and Orange County district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 91% of 5th-grade students at Hope Charter were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 58% in the district and 55% statewide. The school also maintains low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 3.2% to 11.1% in recent years, significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Hope Charter has an extremely low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at only 0.7% in the 2022-2023 school year.

Compared to nearby public schools, Hope Charter outperforms on nearly all academic metrics, including test scores, proficiency rates, and school rankings. For instance, Tildenville Elementary, the highest-performing nearby public school, had a 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 68% in 2023-2024, compared to 91% at Hope Charter. The school's higher per-student spending, at $10,413 in 2022-2023, may contribute to its strong academic performance and low chronic absenteeism rates, which are in stark contrast to the nearby public 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.
