Summary

Union Park Charter Academy is a K-8 charter school in Wesley Chapel, FL, serving 803 students within the Pasco County School District, and it stands out for its exceptional middle school program and high school preparation, despite a recent dip in its state ranking from 4-star to 3-star status.

The school's greatest strength is its remarkable performance on high school-level End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with 91% proficiency in Algebra 1, 89% in Geometry, and 98% in Biology 1—scores that are 25-30 percentage points higher than district and state averages. This makes it a standout choice for families wanting a strong academic foundation for high school, especially compared to nearby K-8 competitor Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel, which also excels but trails in Biology 1. Additionally, Union Park's middle school grades (6-8) consistently outperform state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, with 7th grade Math at 70% proficiency versus the state's 53%. However, the school shows a clear split: its elementary grades (3-5) perform at or slightly below state averages, particularly in Math, where 5th grade Math (58%) lags behind the state (62%). This suggests the school's academic value grows significantly as students enter 6th grade.

Union Park also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism—17.6% in 2023-2024, far better than the district (29.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, and lower than nearby schools like Wiregrass Elementary (18.4%) and New River Elementary (26.4%). This high attendance reflects strong student engagement. Furthermore, the school achieves these results with impressive cost-efficiency, spending just $8,562 per student—significantly less than peers like Sand Pine Elementary ($11,743) or Heritage Elementary ($15,045). While Pride Elementary School in Hillsborough remains a top 5-star elementary option, Union Park's niche is its K-8 continuity, strong middle school, and excellent high school prep at a lower cost.
