Cross Creek School

Summary:

Cross Creek School is an alternative public school in Pompano Beach, Florida, serving 106 students in grades K-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 65.09% African American, 19.81% White, 12.26% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other races.

Despite the school's relatively high spending of $77,164 per student, Cross Creek School faces significant challenges. Its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 52.6% and 87.5%, well below the state and district averages of 50-60%. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 75.6%, much higher than the typical 15-20% in the state and district. Academically, Cross Creek School's test scores are significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with 0% proficiency in several key subjects.

When compared to nearby alternative schools in the Broward District, such as Pine Ridge Alternative Center, Eagles Nest Charter Academy, and Cypress Run Alternative Center, Cross Creek School generally performs worse on key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the school's student population is disproportionately African American, raising questions about potential racial inequities in the school's performance and access to resources.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
