Summary

North Grade K-8 is a public magnet elementary and middle school located in Lake Worth, Florida, serving 785 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 38 out of 67 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

North Grade K-8 stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state in several key test score metrics, including 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and Civics, high proficiency rates in 8th-grade Science, and strong performance in English Language Arts and Math for 6th-8th grades. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state and district averages, which may need to be addressed.

When compared to nearby schools in the Palm Beach School District, North Grade K-8 generally outperforms its peers in academic achievement, particularly in core subject areas. The school also has a higher spending per student, suggesting it may have access to additional resources to support its educational programs. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which presents unique challenges that the school may need to address to ensure continued success.
