Renaissance Charter School At Poinciana

Summary:

Renaissance Charter School At Poinciana is a public charter elementary and middle school in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 923 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key differentiator for Renaissance Charter School At Poinciana is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (62.62%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 60-79% Hispanic. The school also has a lower percentage of White students (8.78%) than the nearby schools, which range from 9-21% White. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.9% to 40.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools, which range from 30.1% to 47.8% chronic absenteeism. However, the school has outperformed the Osceola district and the state in certain end-of-course exams, such as Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1.

Despite these bright spots, Renaissance Charter School At Poinciana's overall performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1216 out of 2064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1840 out of 2256 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance is not keeping pace with the state's overall improvement. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (46.8% in 2022-2023), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's challenges in academic performance and attendance. When compared to the nearby public schools, such as Deerwood Elementary School and Thacker Avenue Elementary For International Studies, Renaissance Charter School At Poinciana generally performs on par or slightly better in some subject areas, but lags behind in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across most grade levels.

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.
