Renaissance Charter School At Chickasaw Trail

Summary:

Renaissance Charter School At Chickasaw Trail is an elementary and middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 961 students in grades K-8 as part of the Orange County School District. While the school has a predominantly Hispanic and African American student population, it consistently underperforms nearby public schools on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and overall school rankings.

Renaissance Charter School At Chickasaw Trail has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.9% to 48.1% in recent years, compared to nearby schools like Arbor Ridge K-8 and Deerwood Elementary, which have rates between 21.7% and 46.4%. This high chronic absenteeism appears to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science consistently falling below the Orange County and Florida state averages.

In contrast, the nearby public schools consistently outperform Renaissance Charter School At Chickasaw Trail, with higher test scores, better school rankings, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the charter school may not be providing the same level of educational quality and support as the traditional public schools in the area, raising questions about equity and access issues that may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes will be crucial for the school to better serve its students and the surrounding 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.
