The school has earned a strong 9.2 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout, though it ranks in the 40th percentile statewide at #874 out of 1,462 Florida elementary schools.
This compact learning community allows teachers to know every student personally and tailor instruction to individual needs—a significant advantage that many larger schools cannot offer.

The surrounding community has a 10.4% poverty rate and 28% of residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, reflecting a working-class neighborhood with educational aspirations for their children.

What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 30 students, Apple Learning Center is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 7.5:1, Apple Learning Center offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Apple Learning Center operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
