Summary:

Pinecrest Creek Charter is an elementary public charter school in Orlando, Florida, serving 123 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Pinecrest Creek Charter's key strengths is its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates in FAST Math compared to the Orange County and Florida averages across all grade levels. For example, 94% of 5th-grade students at Pinecrest Creek Charter were proficient or better in FAST Math, compared to 58% in Orange County and 56% statewide. The school also has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Rosemont Elementary and Lockhart Elementary.

However, Pinecrest Creek Charter faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.1% to 27.2% over the past few years, which are higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 621 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to 1,558 out of 2,087 (1 star) in 2015-2016. The school's current ranking of 1,033 out of 2,240 (3 stars) in 2022-2023 places it in the middle range compared to other Florida elementary schools. These factors suggest that the school may benefit from a more stable and sustained approach to improving educational outcomes and addressing attendance issues.

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.
