Vista Pointe Elementary

Q: Is Vista Pointe Elementary a good school?

Vista Pointe Elementary ranks 784 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vista Pointe Elementary is a public elementary school in Orlando, Florida, serving 514 students in grades PK-5. 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.

While Vista Pointe Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (71.6%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 55.77% to 63.67%, the school outperforms the Orange County and Florida state averages in several key test score metrics, including 5th Grade Science, 3rd Grade ELA, and 3rd Grade Math. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 32.5% to 49.6% over the past three school years, which is higher than the surrounding schools like Conway Elementary, Shenandoah Elementary, and Michael McCoy Elementary.

Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 53.05% to 75.98%, Vista Pointe Elementary has maintained a consistent level of academic performance, outperforming the district and state averages in several key areas. However, the school lags behind in other areas, such as 4th Grade ELA, when compared to nearby schools. This suggests that Vista Pointe Elementary may have specific strengths and weaknesses that could be further investigated to address any achievement gaps and continue improving the quality of education for its diverse student population.

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.
