Ucp Bailes Community Academy

Summary:

Ucp Bailes Community Academy is a public charter elementary and middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 479 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While part of the Orange County Public Schools district, the school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, consistently low test scores, and a declining performance trend.

Compared to nearby schools like Bonneville Elementary and Arbor Ridge K-8, Ucp Bailes Community Academy has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 40.1% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the Orange County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with some grade levels performing 15-20 percentage points below the benchmarks. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school spends more per student ($13,966 in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding traditional public schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Orange County Preparatory Academy Charter also underperforms compared to the district and state averages, suggesting that the charter school model may not be a significant factor in the academic performance of Ucp Bailes Community Academy. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students, is another notable characteristic. However, the school's proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools in the Seminole County Public Schools district, such as Stenstrom Elementary, Carillon Elementary, and Evans Elementary, highlights the potential for improvement.

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.
