UCP Charter Schools is excited to share some exciting news that underscores our commitment to unlocking children’s potential. UCP Pine Hills and UCP Osceola have both received the highest possible school rating from the Florida Department of Education, earning a “Commendable” grade in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.
This recognition is more than just a letter grade—it is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and resilience of our students, staff, and the entire UCP community. It highlights the outstanding learning gains made at these schools and displays the exceptional educational environment we strive to create every day.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that UCP Pine Hills and UCP Osceola are two of our highest-need schools. With over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and more than 50% of students having disabilities, these schools have overcome significant challenges to reach this level of excellence. Their success is a powerful reminder that with the right support and opportunities, every child can achieve greatness.
“These exceptional results highlight the remarkable achievements of our scholars and the unwavering dedication of our educators,” said Dr. Ilene Wilkins, CEO and President of UCP. “We are incredibly proud of all our schools and the commitment our team has shown to support these outstanding results!”
While UCP Pine Hills and UCP Osceola have set a high standard, they are not alone in their success. The other six schools in the UCP Charter Schools network also performed strongly, with each earning a “Maintaining” grade. UCP Downtown/BETA Charter School and UCP Bailes Community Academy were just two points shy of earning a “Commendable” rating themselves, demonstrating the consistent excellence across our network.
As we celebrate these accomplishments, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide high-quality education and support to all our students, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are proud to be a leading network of inclusive charter schools, serving over 2,000 students from birth to 21 years of age.
