Summary

North County Charter School is an elementary school located in Vero Beach, Florida, serving 261 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Indian River District, which is ranked 7th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North County Charter School consistently outperforms the Indian River District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71% of 3rd graders at North County Charter School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 69% in the district and 57% statewide. In math, 80% of 3rd graders at North County Charter School were proficient or better, compared to 74% in the district and 63% statewide. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 24.1% to 35.0% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

When compared to nearby schools in the Indian River District, North County Charter School stands out for its higher test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (39.85% in 2023-2024) compared to many of the nearby schools, which have rates ranging from 41.06% to 75.08%. This suggests the school may serve a more affluent student population, and the school should ensure it is providing equitable opportunities and support for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
