Summary

Renaissance Charter School Of St. Lucie in Port St. Lucie, FL, is a large public charter school serving 1,413 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade within the St. Lucie district.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced high school-level courses, with 8th graders achieving remarkable proficiency rates of 83% in Algebra 1, 97% in Geometry, 97% in Biology 1, and 87% in Civics—scores that far exceed district and state averages. However, the school shows a "Jekyll and Hyde" math profile: while middle schoolers excel, only 38% of 4th graders and 37% of 5th graders are proficient in math, well below the district average. In English Language Arts, the school demonstrates a "middle school bounce," with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders scoring above district and state averages, while lower elementary grades lag behind. Notably, Renaissance achieves these results while spending just $8,634 per student—over $2,000 less than the average of nearby schools like Oak Hammock K-8 School ($9,894) and Northport K-8 School ($13,012).

Chronic absenteeism has been a persistent challenge, peaking at 29.5% in 2023-2024, though this is improving and remains below the district's peak of 42.3%. When compared to nearby Oak Hammock K-8 School, which has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Renaissance outperforms it in nearly every academic metric despite spending less per student. This efficiency suggests a focused academic model, but the significant weakness in 4th and 5th-grade math raises the question of whether increased investment in foundational instruction could yield even stronger overall results.

This school is awful. They don't stop bullying, and instead gaslight the victims. Even teachers participate in the harassment of students. If a parent dares to call them out and demand something get done, the parent gets blocked from all social media and banned from the property so a 3rd party has to drop off and pick up their child. They consider 5th grade to be middle school but they are not allowed to participate in middle school events and activities unless the school cam make money off of it. They make up rules as they go and bend them to not get their favorite students in trouble. I heard a student call an employee a b!tch for trying to take away their phone that they shouldnt have been using, the employee went to the Dean of Students and was told "we dont mess with that kid, he has issues, just leave him alone". They collectively punish all the kids for the actions of a few instead of just disciplining the kids breaking rules. They don't have to give kids recess either, they are exempt from that FL law. Garbage school with garbage administration. Close Quote

My son has attended since kindergarten. He absolutely loves his school. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they always have so many fun activities going on. The classroom sizes are also ideal for allowing more one on one time for each individual child. Close Quote

The school needs to develop a new pickup/drop off process. If you're picking your kid up, show up at 3:30 vs 3:00 or earlier. The staff is friendly. My daughter got lice 3 times in the first few months of school. That was fun. Haven't had a problem since. Giselle in lane 2 is the bomb. Ms. Coburn(principal) and Ms. Jackson(assistant) are responsive and friendly. Deputy Tracy is also very nice, I enjoy seeing her around. The principal allowed me to write off my lice treatments as hours which shows the level of cooperation and willingness to work with you. Overall, I'm happy with this place. Close Quote

I am so happy with Renaissance of St. Lucie. My son's teacher Mrs. Rose Tirado is phenomenal with the kids. The school keeps you informed and involved. They're extremely organized, very active in school events and cares about your child. I can't recommend enough! Close Quote

We love RCSSL!! My daughter has been attending for the last 3 years and we have always had good experiences with the teachers and staff. My daughter was actually upset when we no longer needed to utilize the before and aftercare program because she enjoyed it so much. Only complaint would be the lack of parking, makes it very difficult to attend ceremonies and other family oriented events. Close Quote

I highly recommend this school. My daughter has been attending since kindergarten and every year she goes back, the school has made several steps to improve. The multitude of outlets in which they communicate with parents is unparalleled. The security update throughout the school is impressive and coming back each year to see the same similar faces of the staff, teachers and administration is refreshing. I am without a shadow of a doubt super proud to send my kid here everyday. Thank you for your continued effort to improve and maintain a great “A” school. Close Quote

Don't ever send your kids here. The teachers don't care and the admin staff cares even less. My sons teacher does nothing but yell at her class of 2cnd grade kids all day. It's sad. I have reached out to the admin staff on multiple occasions and they dodge any parent issue. Its not fair to the students or the parents. Were paying for privet school next year to get the heck out of crappy renaissance. Close Quote
