Summary

Renaissance Charter School At Central Palm in Lake Worth, FL, serves 764 students in grades K-8 within the Palm Beach district, but it has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating with a state ranking in the 10th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This school shows a dramatic split in performance: while a small group of advanced students excels in high school-level End-of-Course exams like Biology 1 (93% proficient) and Algebra 1 (72% proficient), the majority of students struggle significantly on grade-level assessments. For example, only 25% of 5th graders are proficient in Math and 30% in Science, rates that are the lowest among nearby schools and less than half of what Hidden Oaks K-8 achieves in the same subjects.

This school has experienced a rapid and dramatic shift in its student population, with the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch jumping from less than 1% in 2022-2023 to nearly 60% in 2024-2025. This change coincides with a sharp decline in academic performance, suggesting the school has not yet adapted its resources to meet the needs of its changing student body. Despite these challenges, chronic absenteeism at Renaissance (18.3%) is actually better than the district average and significantly lower than nearby schools like Starlight Cove Elementary School (31.9%) and Freedom Shores Elementary School (28.3%), indicating that attendance is not the primary driver of low test scores.

When comparing Renaissance to other schools in the area, the contrast is stark. Hidden Oaks K-8, located just over a mile away, is a 4-star school ranking in the 71st percentile and outperforms Renaissance by a factor of 2 or 3 in nearly every subject. Additionally, Renaissance spends significantly less per student ($9,688) than all nearby public schools, which spend between $14,458 and $18,327, and even less than other charter schools like Imagine Schools Chancellor Campus ($10,306). This combination of low spending, a rapidly changing student population, and a focus on advanced classes that masks widespread struggles makes Renaissance a school that requires careful consideration from parents.

My daughter is in Kindergarden going to 1st grade next year. Her teacher is super nice and has taught her so much. The people in the office have to be a little more attentive to the people coming into the school. When I go in no one ask "may I help you?" I have to say what I am there for. There has been times that im standing there and I do not even get a hello or a smile. I am not saying they are rude just that they should smile more often. The staff seems nice and my daughter likes all her teachers. Close Quote

The school does the best it can with their students. Unfortunately, it appears that the school is understaffed, but those teachers that are there, are working extremely hard and they go unappreciated. Several teachers use their own personal funds to supply the students with needed materials such as pencils, paper, educational games, and etc. There is a large lack of involvement and returned communication from other parents too. As a parent, I cannot thank the teachers enough for the support they provide to the students. They go beyond measures to help the students pass. Close Quote

The level of bullying in this school is astonishing. The staff and teachers just ignore the issues and bad kids are allowed to behave out of line more so due to favoritism. Close Quote
