Summary

Crystal Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stuart, Florida, serving 448 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Martin District, which is ranked 33 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past few years, Crystal Lake Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating, with a slight dip to 3 stars in the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 school years.

Crystal Lake Elementary consistently outperforms the Martin District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 67% of 3rd graders at Crystal Lake were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 56% in the district and 57% statewide. In math, 76% of 3rd graders at Crystal Lake were proficient or better, compared to 62% in the district and 63% statewide. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.2% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

While Crystal Lake Elementary outperforms the district and state, there are some nearby schools that excel even further. Bessey Creek Elementary and Citrus Grove Elementary, both within a 6-mile radius, consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Florida, with 4 and 5 stars from SchoolDigger, respectively. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to Crystal Lake. Additionally, the nearby The Hope Charter Center For Autism stands out with its specialized focus on serving students with autism, with a much lower student-teacher ratio than Crystal Lake.
