Summary:
The city of Crescent City, Florida is home to two public schools: Middleton-Burney Elementary School and Crescent City Junior-Senior High School. Both schools serve students in the Putnam school district, but unfortunately, neither school is performing well compared to state and district averages.
Middleton-Burney Elementary and Crescent City Junior-Senior High are both ranked in the bottom 15-25% of schools in Florida, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly below state and district levels across all grade levels. Both schools have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, with over 70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and they also serve diverse student populations with large Hispanic and African American enrollments.
Other concerning metrics include extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, low per-student spending, and high student-teacher ratios. These factors likely contribute to the consistently poor academic performance of the schools over the past several years. Addressing the systemic challenges facing these schools, such as providing more resources and support for economically disadvantaged and diverse student populations, will be crucial to driving meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
