Public, Charter Grades

Summary

Orange County Preparatory Academy Charter is a public charter school serving 286 students in grades K-8 in Orlando, Florida, which is part of the Orange County school district.

The school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math significantly below the district and state averages. The student population is predominantly Hispanic, making up around 60% of the student body, and the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 16.3% in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.31% to 95.17% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Bonneville Elementary, Cheney Elementary, and Arbor Ridge K-8, Orange County Preparatory Academy Charter generally performs worse academically. Despite the relatively high spending per student, which ranges from $11,620 to $12,992 in recent years, the school's academic performance suggests that factors other than funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and student support services, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

The principal is not the greatest, they got rid of the dean who was doing an awesome job. Middle school hasn't had a math teacher in 2 years. The turnover rate of teachers and administrators is very high. In three years we have seen 3 principals and 2 deans. My daughter has had teachers leave every year we have been in that school including 3 teachers in one year. Close Quote

When they have a great teacher they don't try to keep them... And when this teacher leaves the kids get moved to a lower grade and bumbard another teacher... It's a science school it should know if you create an unstable environment your results are bad. This is unacceptable. The current principal or assistant principal won't get off their high horse to teach the kids, instead force other teacher to do it. Where I work, managers step down to assist when we are short.. why can't I expect the same with this or any other school?... I hope you never have to experience the headaches our family was forced to endure. Close Quote
