Renaissance Charter School At West Palm Beach

Summary:

Renaissance Charter School At West Palm Beach is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 1,013 students in grades K-8 in West Palm Beach, Florida, which is part of the Palm Beach School District.

This school consistently outperforms the Palm Beach district and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with 89% proficiency in Algebra 1 compared to 58% for the district and 55% for the state. The school also has a more racially diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American (67.52%) and Hispanic (21.62%) students compared to nearby schools. While the school has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.8% in 2019-2020 to 14.6% in 2022-2023, this is still lower than the 30-50% rates at nearby schools. Additionally, Renaissance Charter School At West Palm Beach has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.92% to 78.48%, which is significantly higher than the 45.35% to 93.64% range at nearby schools.

While Renaissance Charter School At West Palm Beach outperforms the nearby schools in academic assessments, other schools in the district, such as U.B. Kinsey/Palmview Elementary and Seminole Trails Elementary School, have their own strengths in certain grade levels and subjects. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families may present unique challenges, and the increasing chronic absenteeism rate could impact student learning and academic achievement.

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.
