While Renaissance Charter School At Tradition has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students, it faces significant challenges. The school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.1% in 2019-2020 to 30.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools and the district average. Additionally, the school generally performs below the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in Math. However, the school excels in certain End-of-Course (EOC) exams, such as Biology 1 and Geometry, where it outperforms the state and district.

Compared to nearby charter schools, such as Somerset Academy Bethany and Renaissance Charter School Of St. Lucie, Renaissance Charter School At Tradition generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 1,073 out of 2,247 Florida elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,543 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, with its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period. The school's leadership and the St. Lucie school district should closely examine these issues and implement targeted strategies to address the identified areas of concern.

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.
