UCP ORANGE CHARTER

UCP ORANGE CHARTER is a public charter elementary school that is part of the ORANGE school district, located in ORLANDO, FL with about 166 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 39 teachers, UCP ORANGE CHARTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

UCP ORANGE CHARTER School, located on Lake Underhill Road in Orlando, is a specialized tuition-free public charter school that operates under the umbrella of the UCP of Central Florida organization. The school is widely recognized for its inclusive educational model, which integrates students with and without disabilities into the same classrooms. By utilizing a "multi-sensory" and therapeutic approach, the school aims to provide personalized learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of all students, fostering a community focused on development, empathy, and academic growth.

The school is part of a broader network of UCP charter campuses that partner with local school districts—in this case, Orange County Public Schools (OCPS)—to provide a comprehensive curriculum alongside therapeutic services such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy. This integrated model is designed to support early intervention and academic success, particularly for students who may benefit from smaller class sizes and specialized instruction. Through its commitment to inclusivity, UCP ORANGE CHARTER strives to prepare all children for future success by emphasizing both their individual potential and their ability to thrive in a diverse social environment.
