My daughter left Largo IB where there was significant teacher turnover and almost daily fights to attend SP Collegiate. The 10th grade teaching staff is stable and very focused on the achievement of all students since they all must pass the PERT prior to Junior year in order to continue.They have been amazing. The environment is safe without interruption of classes. My daughter was able to register for full college classes next semester and I was thrilled to see her excitement. It is an amazing opportunity to be able to graduate with both a high school diploma and an AA degree at almost the same time. It was a great choice for our family. Close Quote

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.
