Ucp Pine Hills Charter

Summary:

Ucp Pine Hills Charter is an elementary public charter school in Orlando, Florida, serving 164 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly African American student population. However, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Orange County and the state, with concerning academic and attendance challenges.

Ucp Pine Hills Charter struggles with low academic performance, with only 27% of 3rd graders and 20% of 4th graders proficient in Math, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.4%, much higher than nearby schools like Rosemont Elementary, Pinewood Elementary, and West Oaks Elementary, which all have higher proficiency rates and lower absenteeism. Additionally, 71.95% of Ucp Pine Hills Charter students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Despite the school's low academic performance, Ucp Pine Hills Charter spends a relatively high amount of $16,514 per student, more than many nearby schools. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding, but rather a need for a more targeted and effective approach to improving student learning and engagement. The school's struggles highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of underperformance, such as student attendance, socioeconomic factors, and the efficient allocation of resources, to ensure all students have access to a quality education.

Open Quote This school is in an area where people are in the most NEED but this school assists in no way in helping those needs be met. My grand children go here and there is potential to be great, but all the needs of the children are not being met. 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.
