Summary:
In zip code 33470, there is one middle school, Osceola Creek Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 in Loxahatchee, Florida, as part of the Palm Beach school district.
Osceola Creek Middle School is a standout for its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, 100% of students taking the Geometry EOC exam were proficient, and 90% were proficient in Algebra 1, dramatically outperforming both district and state averages. The school also consistently excels in Civics, with 85% proficiency. However, the school shows a significant weakness in grade-level math, particularly in 7th grade, where only 33% of students are proficient—20 points below the state average. This creates a "tale of two math programs," where the school excels at accelerating top students but may be leaving others behind. English Language Arts scores are a relative strength, consistently at or above district and state averages across all grades.
With a total enrollment of 851 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.7:1, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.7%, which is better than the state average of 31.4%. Per-student spending is $13,850, and 35.61% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school's state ranking has slightly declined over three years, from the 71st percentile (4-star) in 2023-2024 to the 61st percentile (3-star) in 2025-2026. While the school is a powerhouse in advanced subjects, the inconsistent year-over-year performance in areas like 8th Grade Science (dropping from 64% to 55%) and 6th Grade ELA (jumping from 53% to 65%) suggests some volatility in instructional outcomes.
