Renaissance Middle Charter School

Q: Is Renaissance Middle Charter School a good school?

Renaissance Middle Charter School ranks 421 st of 1196 Florida middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Renaissance Middle Charter School is a public charter middle school located in Doral, Florida, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 471. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Renaissance Middle Charter School consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1. However, the school's performance in FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) English Language Arts and Math assessments is mixed, with some grades exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.6% in 2018-2019 to 31.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Renaissance Middle Charter School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.27% to 47.64% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby public schools, such as Miami Springs Middle School, Henry H. Filer Middle School, and West Miami Middle School. This suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to the school's academic success but also raises questions about equity and access for students from lower-income backgrounds. When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as Doral Academy Charter Middle School and Just Arts and Management Charter Middle School, Renaissance Middle Charter School generally outperforms them in academic performance, indicating a strong emphasis on education in the Doral area.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
