Summary

Spectrum Academy is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Stuart, Florida, part of the Martin District, which is ranked 33 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With just 136 students, Spectrum Academy consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages across key metrics.

Academically, Spectrum Academy lags significantly behind, with only 3% of 10th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 57% in the district and 58% statewide. The school also has relatively low 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 88-92% in recent years, and very high chronic absenteeism rates, from 26-91%, much higher than the district average of around 31%. Spectrum Academy serves a high-need population, with 64-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district average of 40-50%. Despite this, the school spends significantly more per student, around $12,000-$18,000 per year, compared to the district average of $10,000-$12,000.

In comparison, nearby schools like South Fork High School, Jensen Beach High School, and Martin County High School have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. The nearby Clark Advanced Learning Center, a public charter high school, stands out as a high-performing school with exceptional academic results. Addressing the unique challenges facing Spectrum Academy will be crucial for improving outcomes for its students.
