Summary

Sigsbee Charter School is a public charter school in Key West, FL, serving 531 students in grades K-8 and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, placing it in the top 25% of Florida schools.

This school stands out dramatically from nearby schools in the Monroe district. In recent testing, Sigsbee’s proficiency rates are often 20 to 40 percentage points higher than schools like Horace O'Bryant School and Gerald Adams Elementary School. For example, 86% of Sigsbee’s 8th graders were proficient in science, compared to just 30% at Horace O'Bryant. The school also has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.7%, which is less than half the rate at May Sands Montessori School (36.9%) and Sugarloaf School (33.5%). Sigsbee is also highly efficient, spending $16,555 per student—less than nearby traditional public schools—while achieving far superior academic results.

One notable finding is a sharp drop in 8th-grade math proficiency, with only 30% of students proficient compared to 87% in 7th grade the year prior. This is an area worth investigating. However, the school excels at accelerating students into high school math, with 89% of students taking the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam scoring proficient. Overall, Sigsbee is an exceptional outlier in the district, providing a significantly different educational experience compared to its neighbors.
