Summary

Plato Academy Trinity Charter School in New Port Richey, FL, is a K-8 charter school serving 489 students in the Pasco County School District, with a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 and moderate economic diversity (41.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025).

This school is a study in contrasts. On one hand, it is a powerhouse in advanced math: an impressive 94% of students taking the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically outperforming the district (62%) and state (63%) averages. It also shows consistent strength in 6th-grade English Language Arts, with 64% proficiency. However, these bright spots mask significant challenges. The school's overall state ranking has declined sharply, from a 4-star rating (76th percentile) in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating (40th percentile) in 2025-2026. This downward trend contrasts with nearby high-performing schools like Athenian Academy of Technology and the Arts (5-star, 95th percentile) and Trinity Elementary School (5-star, 94th percentile), which are trending upward. A major red flag is that chronic absenteeism has more than tripled in four years, rising from 6.9% in 2020-2021 to 25.7% in 2023-2024, likely contributing to the overall decline.

Another key concern is the school's performance in core subjects. While it excels in advanced math, only 53% of 5th graders and 52% of 8th graders were proficient in the standard FAST Math exam in 2025-2026. Science is a persistent weakness, with just 40% of 5th graders proficient, compared to the district (56%) and state (60%). The school operates with remarkable financial efficiency, spending only $8,651 per student—the lowest among nearby schools. This is significantly less than schools achieving higher overall performance, such as Longleaf Elementary School ($12,216) and Trinity Elementary ($11,724), raising questions about whether increased investment in areas like science instruction and absenteeism intervention could reverse the declining trend.
