Summary

Crossroad Academy in Quincy, FL, is an alternative school serving 555 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in the Gadsden district, a high-poverty area where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Crossroad Academy stands out as a high-performing alternative school within a low-performing district. It achieved a remarkable 100% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding the Gadsden district average of 80.9% and the state average of 92.2%. This success is not a fluke; the school has maintained a graduation rate of 91% or higher for five consecutive years. In contrast, nearby alternative schools like Carter Parramore Academy (53.8%) and Second Chance at Ghazvini Learning Center (25.0%) have much lower rates. Academically, Crossroad Academy consistently outperforms the Gadsden district in every tested subject and grade level. For example, 10th-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 67% at Crossroad compared to 37% district-wide, and 4th-grade Math proficiency was 74% versus 44% district-wide. The school also achieves these results with lower spending per student ($8,588) compared to other alternative schools like Carter Parramore Academy ($42,678).

While Crossroad Academy excels in many areas, there are challenges. Chronic absenteeism has risen significantly from 7.1% in 2019-2020 to 39.8% in 2023-2024, though this is still much lower than other alternative schools in the district, such as Gadsden Central Academy (97.1%) and Carter Parramore Academy (96.7%). Additionally, the school shows a weakness in high school math, with Algebra 1 proficiency at 43% and Geometry at 21%, both below state averages. This suggests that while the school is strong in foundational skills, it may need to focus more resources on advanced math courses to ensure students are fully prepared for college and careers.
