Educational Venture Charter School

Summary:

Educational Venture Charter School is a small public high school in Lantana, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a diverse student population of 68 students. Despite its relatively high per-student spending, the school has consistently struggled with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and poor academic performance compared to nearby schools and district averages.

The school's four-year graduation rates have ranged from just 28% to 37.5% over the past five years, significantly lower than the 91.7% rate at G-Star School Of The Arts and the 98.3% rate at Park Vista Community High School. Chronic absenteeism has also been a major issue, reaching as high as 85.4% in the 2021-2022 school year, far exceeding the 1.1% rate at Pace Center For Girls and the 78.3% rate at South Area Secondary Intensive Transition Program.

Academically, Educational Venture Charter School has consistently performed poorly on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the Palm Beach district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and US History. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 10th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 14%, compared to 54% in the district and 53% statewide. Despite these poor outcomes, the school has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $18,225 to $27,673 over the past four years, higher than nearby schools like G-Star School Of The Arts ($11,750) and Park Vista Community High School ($11,714).

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.
