Summary:
Islamorada, Florida, is home to a single public school, Treasure Village Montessori Charter School, a small PK-8 institution serving 179 students within the Monroe County school district, which is ranked 19th out of 70 districts in the state.
Treasure Village Montessori Charter School stands out for its exceptional academic performance in core subjects, consistently outperforming both district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) across nearly all grade levels. In the 2025-2026 school year, 4th and 5th graders achieved 84% and 89% proficiency, respectively, compared to the state average of 60% and 61%. The school also achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 and Civics End-of-Course (EOC) exams for both the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, a remarkable feat that significantly exceeds district and state averages. However, the school's state ranking has declined over three years, from the 74th percentile to the 55th percentile, despite strong test scores, suggesting other schools are improving faster or that the ranking methodology heavily weights factors beyond raw scores, such as the school's 25.1% chronic absenteeism rate.
Key metrics reveal a mixed picture. The school spends $20,554 per student, notably higher than the state average, which correlates with strong ELA and EOC scores but not with top-tier math scores or a rising state ranking. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school underperformed the state average in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th grade Math, highlighting a potential area for curriculum focus. With 30.17% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a relatively low-income population, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1% is a significant concern, being higher than the district average of 21.8% but lower than the state average of 31.4%.
