Summary

Mater Academy Narcoossee is a public charter school in Orlando, FL, serving 1,096 students in grades K-8 in the Lake Nona area, with 41.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its strong middle school performance, particularly in math, where 78% of 7th graders were proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the Orange district average of 44% and the state average of 53%. It also excels in high school-level coursework, with 93% of students passing Algebra 1 and 91% passing Biology 1, both roughly 30 points higher than district and state averages. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.6%, compared to the district average of 35.2%, indicating strong student engagement and family-school communication.

Compared to nearby schools, Mater Academy Narcoossee offers a unique K-8 structure that allows for direct middle school performance comparisons. While it holds a consistent 3-star rating, it is outperformed by higher-income schools like Northlake Park Community Elementary (5-star, 94th percentile) and Moss Park Elementary (5-star, 90th percentile), but it significantly outperforms schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Three Points Elementary (1-star, 23rd percentile) and Vista Pointe Elementary. The school operates with a lean budget of $7,835 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—and a higher student-to-teacher ratio of 23.3:1, yet still achieves strong academic results, particularly in math and science.

However, a notable weakness is 8th-grade science, where only 30% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the district average of 57% and state average of 52%, a persistent issue over three years. This contrasts sharply with the school's excellent performance in 8th-grade math (63%) and Biology 1 (91%). Overall, Mater Academy Narcoossee provides a balanced, high-quality education across most grade levels, with consistent year-over-year growth and a focus on accelerating students into advanced coursework, making it a solid choice for families seeking a stable and effective school in the Lake Nona area.
