Summary

Academie Da Vinci Charter School is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Dunedin, Florida, serving 331 students in grades K-8. As part of the Pinellas County School District, which is ranked 19th out of 67 districts in the state, Academie Da Vinci consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in science proficiency.

The school's academic performance is exceptional, with 85% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 65% in Pinellas County and 57% statewide. In science, an impressive 91% of 5th graders and 75% of 8th graders scored proficient or better, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. While the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 31.4% in 2023-2024, this rate is still lower than the state average. Academie Da Vinci spends $9,638 per student, which is lower than the state average but higher than some nearby traditional public schools, such as Leila Davis Elementary, Dunedin Elementary, and Sandy Lane Elementary.

Academie Da Vinci's consistent high performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, is a testament to the school's effective teaching and learning practices. While the school outperforms most nearby traditional public schools, it lags behind some high-performing charter schools in the area, such as Discovery Academy Of Science and Curtis Fundamental Elementary. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 may be a contributing factor to its academic success.

Open Quote This is our first year at the school and we are impressed. Faculty are very interactive, our sons teacher is easy to get a hold of with questions or concerns, and they have a dance component in addition to the normal learning. To add on, the school is a smaller school which equals smaller classes and better teacher student interaction. Close Quote

Open Quote This is by far the best charter school in Pinellas County. It’s a small school offering all the kids the attention that they need. I’m so happy my son goes here and I couldn’t picked a better school for him. He never complains about anything and is always happy to go to school. This is an excellent school. Close Quote

Open Quote ADV is a small school with a great staff and community. The kids are not only learning math and science as they would in most schools. With the large emphasis on the Arts and STEAM , children are getting hands on knowledge of a vast number of areas from dancing to singing to production and tech training. Close Quote

Open Quote Integrating education with arts and technology is a unique approach these days. ADV is a prime example of how progressive methods and a non-traditional approach works! All children learn differently and it's important to offer our children the opportunity to learn using the method(s) that best works for them. ADV does an incredible job with this. I highly recommend this school! Close Quote

Open Quote Little school with no heart. Close Quote

Open Quote Our child has recently graduated from ADV. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent elementary and middle school education. The school offers visual arts, dance and music multiple days a week along with the core curriculum. They have a highly active parent group that makes the school great. Testing dipped a few years ago when they expanded to the new site, but a new administration has returned ADV to an "A" school and more importantly one of the best schools in the county. Close Quote

Open Quote Excellent school. very successful from year to another. ADV is an "A"school up to grade 8 now! It's a great charter school with an additional focus on Arts and Dance making it a very unique school. Excellent Principal and assistant principal, they are doing their best every day to take this school to a very special place. Close Quote

Open Quote Académie Da Vinci is a fully rounded school -- with a focus on the arts as well as technology... Pretty uncommon now a days. We love this school, have been here for 2 years (K and 1st) and don't plan on leaving until High School!! Close Quote

Open Quote Great School, great teachers. Don't believe the reviews on these sites about the board ruining the school. A group of parents got together to destroy the reputation of the school after it was moved. Go there and check out the great environment yourself. Close Quote

Open Quote The board of this school has managed to completely destroy it. They fired the best principal they could have ever found and the teacher turn-over is constant now. What was once "A little school with a big heart" is now a big school with no heart. The new principal is the most uncaring, unfriendly, and inexperienced person they could find. They were desperate to find someone and she was the only person they interviewed. Parents are pulling their kids and teachers are leaving or getting fired constantly. We are in tears over the loss of what was once the most coveted school in Pinellas county. Close Quote
