Ucp Osceola Charter School

Summary:

Ucp Osceola Charter School is an elementary school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 216 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($21,695) than nearby public schools like Flora Ridge Elementary ($10,373) and Central Avenue Elementary ($12,974), Ucp Osceola Charter School is underperforming academically. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are less than half the state averages, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 49.3% in 2019-2020 to 68.7% in 2022-2023, which is substantially higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, the academic performance gap is even more evident. For example, Osceola Science Charter School, located just 2.3 miles away, outperforms Ucp Osceola Charter School across multiple subject areas and grade levels, with significantly higher proficiency rates. This suggests that the charter school's higher spending does not translate into better educational outcomes for its students, and addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and resource allocation, may be crucial in improving the quality of education provided.

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.
