Draft:Pinecrest Lakes Academy

  • Comment: We need to see significant coverage, directly of the school itself, in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject. Please don't resubmit without such sources, as this may be rejected outright.
    Note that the vast majority of primary and secondary schools are not notable enough to warrant their own articles. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

History

edit
 
The Location of Pinecrest Lakes Academy in the Clermont area

Pinecrest opened in 2017, their middle high school Pinecrest Lakes Prep opened in 2020. They have plans to build a second campus in the Lake-Sumter State College area for middle and high schoolers, which was supposed to open in 2021, though it has been postponed (The high school currently resides in a building next to the Cooper Memorial Library).[1]

The PLA campus originally had an orange and white color scheme when it opened in 2017, though it was changed to a blue and white color scheme sometime in 2020-2021. A second building (connected by a bridge) was opened in 2022 to house most 4-5th Grade, and Middle School classes. Also in 2022, the logo was changed. The color schemes were still kept but the logo was drastically changed into more of a professional look rather than the simplistic look of the old one.

They have already been the #1 Middle School in Lake County in the 2022-2023 school year. As of 2024 PLA became an "A" school for the 6th year in a row for the 2022-2023 school year. They have been an "A" school for every school year since their founding in 2017.
