Open Quote Something very unusual in that you cannot find any FCAT scores for this school anywhere since its inception in 2003. Their web site does not list any of the names of Administration or staff. Why is a Charter school associated with private businesses a 501 C 3 so you cannot see the corporate donations?

I would think since they have been in operation since 2003 they would have much better business connections for the students to get jobs rather than the normal minimum wage businesses - 44 related companies listed as employers and only 9 are professional. Those 35 other businesses would never give these students a future or make it so they could support a family.

Their 990 report for 2011 shows they are in the hole by $10K which is not much but I would suggest their principal be not making such a large salary ($98,181.00) since surrounding schools with a responsibility of over 4K students make much less. Why is Mr. Hartshaw taking a salary and how can their board have a handle on what is going on when they only meet every 6 months. Regular public schools meet at least 23 times a year.

Parents should be asking these questions? What curriculum are they using? What is the schools ranking in the state? 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.
