Acceleration East

Q: Is Acceleration East a good school?

Acceleration East ranks 358 th of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Acceleration East is a public high school in Orlando, Florida, serving 220 students in grades 8-12. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Acceleration East stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (80%) compared to the surrounding area. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, in contrast to higher-performing schools like Cornerstone Charter Academy High and William R Boone High. Acceleration East's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 80.8% to 100%, lower than the 94.8% rate at nearby Colonial High. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, reaching as high as 62.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, much higher than the surrounding schools.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending of $16,236 in the 2022-2023 school year, Acceleration East's student proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (58%), Geometry (46%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (42%) were all below the Orange County and state averages. These challenges suggest that Acceleration East may be facing significant obstacles in providing a quality education to its students, despite its relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby 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.
