Editing Pine Hills, Florida (section)

==Diversity==

Pine Hills is one of the most ethnically diverse regions of the [[Greater Orlando]] metropolitan area and is a [[minority majority]] community. The populations of [[African-Americans]] and [[Hispanics]] are reported to be significantly above the state of Florida's average.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.city-data.com/city/Pine-Hills-Florida.html|title=Pine Hills, Florida (FL 32808) profile: population, maps, real estate, averages, homes, statistics, relocation, travel, jobs, hospitals, schools, crime, moving, houses, news, sex offenders|work=City-Data.com|access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref> The foreign-born population is also above the state average. There are large [[Caribbean]] populations of [[Haiti]]ans, [[Jamaica]]ns, and [[Puerto Ricans in the United States|Puerto Ricans]]. There is also a large [[Asian people|Asian]] population of [[Vietnamese people|Vietnamese]], [[Koreans]], and [[Khmer people|Cambodians]]. This diversity is evident along Pine Hills Road where many immigration offices, Caribbean and Asian restaurants, and [[West Indian]] grocery stores abound.

Several flourishing neighborhoods exist where the median family income exceeds the area average. Subdivisions close to Pine Hills with expensive single-family homes are found in the nearby Rosemont neighborhood, which was the first planned development created within the City of Orlando. Expensive homes are also located off Balboa Drive near Good Homes Road in the Rose Hill subdivision and along north Powers Drive. A near-replica of [[Elvis Presley]]'s [[Graceland]] Mansion, constructed in 1981, is located off North Hiawassee Road in the '''Hyland Oaks''' subdivision.

In 2010, Evans High School became the first UCF-Certified Community Partnership School <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ccie.ucf.edu/communityschools/schools/|title = Community Schools}}</ref> in the state of Florida, established through a collaboration between the Children's Home Society of Florida, Orange County Public Schools, and the University of Central Florida. Since Evans became a Community Partnership School, student test scores and other metrics have significantly increased, Ellis says. Especially notable: Evans’ graduation rate has improved from 64 percent in the 2010–2011 school year (when CPS efforts began) to 87 percent in the 2016–2017 school year. Prior to becoming a Community Partnership School, Evans was labeled a “dropout factory” by Johns Hopkins University.
