Summary

Oak Creek Charter School Of Bonita Springs is a K-8 charter school in Bonita Springs, FL, serving 685 students within the Lee County school district, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida districts.

This school is facing severe challenges that set it apart from nearby schools. Academic performance is critically low, with proficiency rates often half or less than the state average. For example, 5th-grade science proficiency is just 23%, compared to 74% at Pinewoods Elementary School (also in Lee County) and 92% at Veterans Memorial Elementary School in the neighboring Collier district. The school has a 0-star rating and ranks in the 1st percentile statewide, a dramatic decline from its 3-star rating a decade ago. Chronic absenteeism is at a crisis-level 40.4%, nearly double the rate at Spring Creek Elementary School (21.5%) and more than four times higher than top-performing Collier schools like Laurel Oak Elementary School (7.5%). The percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch has skyrocketed to 98.54%, the highest in the comparison group and far above the next highest, Naples Park Elementary School at 60.94%.

Despite these struggles, there is one notable bright spot: Algebra 1 proficiency is 79%, well above the state average of 63%. This likely reflects a selective group of high-performing 8th graders, as 8th-grade math proficiency overall is only 11%. The school's per-student spending ($9,299) is comparable to other Lee County schools like Pinewoods ($10,127), which achieves dramatically better results, suggesting the core issues are not simply about funding but rather the overwhelming concentration of poverty and absenteeism. The contrast with nearby Collier County schools, which are among the best in the state, highlights a stark geographic and economic divide in this area.

My daughter started her first year at Oak Creek Charter last year and I was very impressed. Her teacher Mrs. Skudin was very informative and had open lines of communication. My daughter came home everyday excited about what they were learning in class. The principal is always available to address any concerns and the staff has a family friendly feel. Thank you Oak Creek Charter for giving my daughter a warm welcome and a positive learning environment! We look forward to being part of Oak Creek Charter school all the way through middle school.

Personal attention is what you can expect from this school. Here you as a parent and your child(ren) are not anonymous numbers. Principal, teachers and staff know everyone in person. The principal is always available for personal meetings. I wish they would have more financial funds for improvements. But other then that we could not be happier with our school choice. Close Quote

This school has been wonderful for my child moving from another Charter school, the transition was smooth. My child was challenged by wonderful and knowledgeable teachers that provided him with a great and challenging learning environment for his sixth grade year. He was excited to learn!!!! This school has the most caring and dedicated teachers I have ever seen, they really want to challenge kids to succeed. The principal is a hands on but approachable man who truly has your child's individual educational interest at heart. My son is looking with eager interest to start seventh grade. There truly is no better learning environment for your child come see the difference this school can make in your child's overall educational experience. Parents are able to get involved in their child's education and staff is always ready to help and truly listen to any concerns you may have. Close Quote

I am withdrawing my children from this school. Bully problem, horrible teacher direction, alot of teacher turnover, lack of supplies including class chairs! Not enough text books. No accountability. I am sad to have ever sent my children here, at 6th and 1st grades kids shouldnt ask to be moved to another school... should I say more? Close Quote
