Ucp West Orange Charter

Summary:

Ucp West Orange Charter is an elementary public charter school in Winter Garden, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 277. 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.

Despite its diverse student population, Ucp West Orange Charter has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below the district and state averages, with only 9-16% of students proficient compared to 54-62% for the Orange County district and 53-60% for the state. Additionally, Ucp West Orange Charter has had extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.2% to 65.7% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the nearby schools like Whispering Oak Elementary and Thornebrooke Elementary, which have rates ranging from 11% to 29.7%.

The stark contrast in academic performance between Ucp West Orange Charter and the higher-performing nearby schools raises questions about the Orange County School District's oversight and support for this school. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.32% to 48.5%, may be a contributing factor to the school's low performance. Despite these challenges, Ucp West Orange Charter's diverse student population could be an asset if the school is able to implement effective strategies to support student learning and engagement.

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.
