Summary

Creative Inspiration Journey School Of St Cloud is a public PK-8 school in Saint Cloud, FL, serving 550 students within the Osceola district, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Florida districts. The school itself has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Florida elementary schools over the past five years, currently sitting in the 27th percentile (1-star). A major concern is its extremely high student-to-teacher ratio of 22:1, which is dramatically higher than every nearby school—neighbors like Hickory Tree Elementary School and St. Cloud Elementary School have ratios between 15:1 and 17.9:1. The school also spends just $8,142 per student, the lowest in the area by a wide margin, compared to $9,917 to $13,035 at nearby schools.

Academically, the school shows a troubling "middle school performance cliff." While lower grades (3rd-5th) struggle, the upper grades (6th-8th) perform significantly worse. For example, 8th Grade Math proficiency is just 26% (vs. district 57% and state 61%), and 8th Grade ELA is 39% (vs. district 55% and state 60%). This is a stark contrast to the nearby Canoe Creek K-8, which excels in middle school with 8th Grade Math at 78% and ELA at 77%. However, there are a few bright spots: the school achieved elite scores in Biology 1 EOC (93%) and Civics EOC (81%), both exceeding district and state averages, and 7th Grade Math (55%) outperformed the district (39%) and state (53%).

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue at 26.3%, which is better than the district average (34.9%) but worse than high-performing neighbor Canoe Creek K-8 (14.7%). The school also experienced a massive one-year jump in free/reduced lunch eligibility from 19.49% to 48.36%, indicating a significant demographic shift. Given that higher-performing schools like Hickory Tree Elementary (67th percentile) and Canoe Creek K-8 (80th percentile) are just miles away, the challenges at Creative Inspiration Journey School appear tied to school-specific factors like resource allocation and the high student-to-teacher ratio, rather than the neighborhood alone.

My kids loved this school but due to the fact that my son in VPK was sick so much he missed school alot he was kicked out. So unfair when I sent them doctors notes and they did not even consider it. He was only in VPK! If your child get's sick alot DO NOT GO HERE because they will not enroll them again. When kids get sick it is out of our control. Imagine if my son would of been hospitalized. Taking both of my kids oit Close Quote

No curriculum they do a lot of hands on activities. However with no curriculum my sons teacher didn't start phonetics till after halfway point of the year. Kids are allowed to fight with little to no consequences and you may witness this yourself as a volunteer if you still put your kids in that place after reading this. Each student only gets about 20 minutes of personal time and the rest of the time they spend playing in the classroom. This is how the teacher explained it. They spend 20 one on one minutes in each subject they do and activity together usually last between 10 to 15 minutes and the rest of the time they spend playing. There's 25 mandatory volunteer hours per school year. Beware of good reviews they exchange good reviews for up to 3 volunteer hours if I could post the email for you to see I would. Keep your kids out of here they don't even notify you if your kid is hurt by another student and academically they don't keep up. Their ideas are great but they're not being implemented in a constructive and structured way so the children can benefit from them. Close Quote
