Summary

Crossroads Academy is a public high school located in Belle Glade, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 179 students. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crossroads Academy consistently performs significantly below the district and state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in Geometry, 9% in Biology 1, 3% in US History, and 0% in Civics, compared to the Palm Beach district averages of 56%, 72%, 67%, and 72%, respectively. However, the school has had relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88% to 92.6% over the past few years, which is comparable to the nearby schools such as Everglades Preparatory Academy and Pahokee Middle-Senior High.

Crossroads Academy has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.4% to 62.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the Palm Beach district average. The school also serves a student population with a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 82.12% to 98.08% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the high per-student spending at Crossroads Academy, ranging from $23,850 to $31,260 in recent years, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
