Martin

The Martin school district in Florida consists of 32 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 4 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with a significant gap in academic outcomes.

Among the standout schools in the district are Treasure Coast Classical Academy, a public charter school with exceptional academic performance, ranking among the top schools in the state. Another high-performing school is Clark Advanced Learning Center, a public charter high school that ranks 31st out of 807 high schools in Florida and has a 97.8% four-year graduation rate. At the elementary level, Citrus Grove Elementary and Palm City Elementary are among the top-performing schools in the district and state.

However, the district also faces challenges, with some schools struggling academically and having high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the alternative schools like Spectrum Academy. The data reveals a wide range in per-student spending, with the highest-spending schools not necessarily achieving the best results. Addressing the factors that contribute to the success of the top-performing schools and the challenges at the lower-performing ones could help improve educational outcomes across the Martin school district.
