UCP PINE HILLS CHARTER

UCP PINE HILLS CHARTER is a public charter elementary school that is part of the ORANGE school district, located in ORLANDO, FL with about 153 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 18 teachers, UCP PINE HILLS CHARTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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 PINE HILLS CHARTER is a specialized educational facility located in Orlando, Florida, operating under the umbrella of the University of Central Florida (UCP) network. The school is distinct for its inclusive "multi-ability" model, which integrates students with and without disabilities into the same classrooms. By providing a blend of rigorous academics, early intervention therapies, and developmental support, the school aims to create an environment where children of all developmental levels can learn side-by-side, fostering both academic growth and social-emotional development.

Affiliated with the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) system, the charter school focuses on a holistic approach to early childhood and elementary education. The campus is designed to provide high-quality support services—such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy—directly within the school setting, minimizing the need for students to seek outside clinical care. Through this integrated structure, UCP Pine Hills strives to prepare every student for future academic success while promoting a culture of empathy, acceptance, and community inclusion.
