Summary

Ucp Pine Hills Charter is a small elementary school in Orlando, FL, serving 204 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Pine Hills area, part of the Orange school district.

This school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 5% of Florida elementary schools over the past five years, including a 3rd percentile ranking in 2025-2026. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 36.4% of students missing substantial school time in 2023-2024—far higher than nearby schools like Pinewood Elementary (20.1%) and Hiawassee Elementary (23.8%). This absenteeism likely drives the low test scores, which are consistently 20-40 percentage points below the district average. However, there is a bright spot: 5th-grade science proficiency jumped from 5% in 2022-2023 to 40% in 2025-2026, suggesting a successful intervention that could be replicated in other subjects.

Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($14,348) and has smaller class sizes (15.6:1) than many higher-performing neighbors, such as Rosemont Elementary ($11,897, 18.8:1, 44th percentile). This "money vs. results" paradox indicates the core issue is not funding but likely instructional quality, school culture, or the severe impact of absenteeism. The free/reduced lunch data shows an unusual drop from 67.5% to 4.41% in one year, which is likely a data error; the school's true economic profile is probably similar to its high-poverty neighbors. For parents, this school requires careful consideration, with a focus on how the school plans to improve attendance and replicate its science success across all subjects.

This school is in an area where people are in the most NEED but this school assists in no way in helping those needs be met. My grand children go here and there is potential to be great, but all the needs of the children are not being met. Close Quote
