Summary

Riviera Beach Preparatory & Achievement Academy is a public high school serving grades 5-12 in Riviera Beach, Florida, part of the Palm Beach School District. With just 181 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Florida high schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riviera Beach Preparatory & Achievement Academy significantly underperforms the Palm Beach district and the state of Florida on standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 62% in Palm Beach and 60% statewide. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 81.4% to 92.1% over the past few years, below the state average of around 90%. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 68.7%, much higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Riviera Beach Preparatory & Achievement Academy to nearby high schools, such as Alexander W Dreyfoos Junior School Of The Arts, it is clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Despite spending significantly more per student ($29,719 in 2023-2024) compared to nearby schools like William T. Dwyer High School ($13,035) and Worthington High School ($9,133), the higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for Riviera Beach Preparatory & Achievement Academy.
