Summary

Northport K-8 School in Port St. Lucie, FL, is a large combined elementary and middle school serving 1,206 students in grades PK through 8 within the St. Lucie district, where over 71% of students come from low-income households.

Northport K-8 shows a mixed academic profile with notable strengths and weaknesses. The school excels in high school-level math, with 62% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 67% in Geometry End-of-Course exams—well above the district averages of 54% and 48%, respectively. Fifth-grade science is another bright spot, with 64% proficiency, outperforming both the district (59%) and state (60%). However, the school faces a critical challenge in 7th-grade math, where only 13% of students are proficient—a staggering 27 points below the district average and 40 points below the state average. This is the lowest score among all nearby K-8 schools, including St. Lucie West K-8 School and Manatee Academy K-8. Additionally, science proficiency drops sharply from 64% in 5th grade to 44% in 8th grade, a decline not seen in nearby schools like St. Lucie West K-8 (55% to 57%).

Despite spending $13,012 per student—the highest among comparable schools like Savanna Ridge Elementary School ($12,705) and West Gate K-8 School ($10,295)—Northport K-8's overall state ranking (34th percentile) lags behind several lower-spending peers. The school has shown recovery from a low point in 2022-2023 (22nd percentile) and now stabilizes in the 34th-35th percentile range. Chronic absenteeism, while improving from 39.4% to 29.2%, remains a concern, though it is lower than the district average of 34.4%. For parents, this school offers strong acceleration in high school math and solid 5th-grade science, but the severe 7th-grade math struggles and declining science performance in middle school warrant careful attention.
