Indian River Charter High School

Summary:

Indian River Charter High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Vero Beach, Florida, with a student population of 683. The school is part of the Indian River District, which is ranked 13th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating.

Indian River Charter High School stands out for its consistently high academic performance. The school has four-year graduation rates ranging from 94.0% to 98.1% over the past few years, outperforming the district and state averages. Students at Indian River Charter High School also consistently outperform their peers at nearby public high schools, such as Sebastian River High School and Vero Beach High School, on various end-of-course (EOC) and state assessments. Additionally, the school has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the nearby public high schools, despite a recent increase to 20.9% in the 2022-2023 school year.

One notable difference between Indian River Charter High School and the nearby public high schools is the racial makeup of the student population. Indian River Charter High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (70.42%) compared to the more diverse student populations at the nearby public high schools. This, along with the school's higher per-student funding and lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.89%), may contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, smaller, specialized schools in the area, such as Performance Based Preparatory Academy and Ir Prep, struggle with lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower graduation rates, potentially due to serving a higher percentage of minority and economically disadvantaged students.

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.
