Crosspointe Elementary School

Summary:

Crosspointe Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boynton Beach, Florida, serving 652 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While part of the Palm Beach School District, which is ranked 41 out of 68 districts in Florida, Crosspointe faces significant challenges compared to its surrounding schools.

Crosspointe has a much higher percentage of African American students (71.78%) than nearby schools, which range from 18.27% to 54.04%. The school also struggles with higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.1% to 20.4%, compared to 10.0% to 26.0% at other local schools. Academically, Crosspointe's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the Palm Beach district and Florida state averages. For example, Crosspointe's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was just 28% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 53% for both the district and the state.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $12,658 to $13,212, Crosspointe's academic performance has steadily declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 826 out of 2,087 Florida elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1,841 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. This is in contrast to nearby schools like Banyan Creek Elementary and Citrus Cove Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better statewide rankings than Crosspointe. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates at Crosspointe may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance compared to its peers.

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.
