Summary

North Grade K-8 in Lake Worth, FL, is a public school within the Palm Beach district serving 769 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, with over 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a fascinating split in performance. While its elementary grades (K-5) struggle significantly—with proficiency rates in English and Math well below district and state averages—the middle school grades (6-8) achieve exceptional results. For example, only 38% of 5th graders are proficient in Math, but that number jumps to 83% in 6th grade, and by 7th and 8th grade, proficiency reaches 100% and 95%, respectively. The school also achieves 100% proficiency on Algebra 1 and Civics end-of-course exams, a feat unmatched by nearby schools like Somerset Academy The Dr. Bernard Kimmel Campus, which scored 94% on Algebra 1 and 76% on Civics. This dramatic turnaround suggests a highly effective middle school program that is not yet replicated in the lower grades.

A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 25.4%—higher than the district average and likely a major factor in the elementary grades' struggles. Interestingly, the school spends $14,300 per student, less than many higher-performing neighbors like Palmetto Elementary School ($19,735), indicating that funding alone isn't the issue. For parents, the takeaway is clear: North Grade K-8 is a school of two halves. The elementary wing needs improvement, but the middle school is a hidden gem that produces some of the best test scores in the region, offering a strong option for families focused on the later grades.
