Summary

Village Academy On The Art & Sara Jo Kobacker Campus in Delray Beach, FL, is a public school in the Palm Beach district serving 648 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with over 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school presents a fascinating paradox: it achieves a remarkable 100% graduation rate for four consecutive years, far surpassing the district average of 93.5% and nearby alternative schools like Cross Creek School (62.5%) and Cypress Run Alternative Center (5.0%). However, this success in getting students to graduation does not always translate into high test scores. For example, while 78% of students were proficient in Biology 1—outperforming both the district and state—4th-grade math proficiency dropped to just 4% in the 2025-2026 school year. This extreme variability by subject and grade suggests the school excels at credit recovery and keeping students on track to graduate, but may struggle with consistent academic mastery across all areas.

Compared to other alternative schools in the region, Village Academy stands out as a relative success story. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5% is significantly lower than Palm Beach School For Autism (41.1%), Royal Palm School (41.9%), and Cross Creek School (70.4%), showing the school is effective at getting students to show up. The school spends about $19,000 per student, which is higher than the state average but much less than specialized schools like Royal Palm School ($49,511). While it serves a very different population than the nearby A.D. Henderson University School & Fau High School—a selective lab school with near-100% proficiency—Village Academy demonstrates that an alternative school can successfully guide high-needs students to graduation, even if academic proficiency remains a work in progress.

how can you have pk-5th on one side of the school & 6th-12th on the other side & most to all the kids that go there have bad mouth, the teacher here most to all of them do nothing or tell your child stop being a winer about something untill the child dose something for themself because they won't untill its too late.They say there is ( I S S) IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION but they don't get to do any make work if they get behind there told thats too bad, but if you go there to find out way they can't tell you why, I gess they ready do get paid on the head count of the kids there. other school let you come to they school to see how your child is doing in class if you fill that something is not right or it you think you child may not be acting right in class, this way you can let the people in the front office know & they go with you & you stop by & speak to the teacher oohh no not here you have to they call the teacher on the load speaker, ok but what if you child is not being treaded fare in the class how are to know? they try to make your child stay after school for not having a school logo shirt ok you go to buy some they don't have any in that size that you need but you can pay for them now & you will get it in 4 week later!
