Summary

Minneola Charter School is a large public charter school in Minneola, FL, serving 1,763 students from Pre-K through 8th grade, and is part of the Lake district. This school stands out for its exceptional middle school performance, particularly in advanced math and science, where nearly all students achieve proficiency in Algebra 1 (99%) and Geometry (100%)—far exceeding district and state averages. It also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.9%, less than half the district average, and operates with high spending efficiency at $8,627 per student, the lowest among nearby schools.

While the middle school is a powerhouse, the elementary grades show a more mixed but still solid performance. Early grades are strong, with 3rd-grade math and ELA proficiency rates of 78% and 77%, respectively, outperforming district and state averages. However, 5th-grade math dips to 58%, below both the district and state averages, creating a pattern where performance surges again in middle school. This "V-shaped" trend suggests the school excels at preparing students for advanced coursework as they progress.

Compared to nearby schools, Minneola holds its own against top-tier Pinecrest Lakes Academy, matching or exceeding it in Algebra 1 and Geometry, while maintaining smaller class sizes (16.9 student-teacher ratio vs. 23.3). It also outperforms Groveland Elementary School in nearly every metric, despite spending significantly less per student. Overall, Minneola Charter School offers a unique combination of a comprehensive PK-8 program, a strong middle school math and science track, and a consistent upward trend in performance, making it a compelling choice for families in the area.
