Crossroad Academy, Quincy FL - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Crossroad Academy

Crossroad Academy is a charter school in Quincy, Florida, serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. It sits within Gadsden County, home to Quincy, the county seat and a small city with deep agricultural roots, a large National Register historic district built around a courthouse square, and an economy anchored by public-sector employment. The area carries genuine character, a slow-paced southern feel with the Gadsden Arts Center, Tanyard Creek Park, and the Leaf Theater within walking distance of the historic core, but it is car-dependent beyond that core and reflects economic strain: median household incomes are low, poverty rates are high, and much of the housing stock is aging. A modest growth push is underway, with new apartments, incoming retail, and projected population gains by the end of the decade, though that growth is also pressuring older infrastructure.

The school itself enrolls a modest total across its full PK-12 span, meaning individual grade levels are small. The student body is predominantly Black and Hispanic, with a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a level that reflects the broader economic conditions of the community it serves. Data on students with IEPs and English learners was not available in the data provided.

On the Florida FAST assessments for the most recent reported year, the academic picture is mixed and a parent will want to look into it with the school directly. ELA proficiency in the tested elementary grades runs at roughly half to about three-fifths of students meeting the standard, which is a meaningful result in a community context where many peers face economic headwinds. Math in fourth grade reaches a clearly stronger level, noticeably above the ELA results at the same grade. The middle school grades tell a different story: math proficiency drops in sixth and eighth grade to below four in ten students, and ELA in seventh grade dips below half. On the statewide science assessment in fifth grade, fewer than a third of students scored proficient. These numbers are stated plainly because parents deserve them; they do not tell the whole story of what a school does, but they are a reasonable starting point for conversation with the school about supports and trajectories. Trend data was not available, so it is not possible from this data alone to say whether results are improving.

Because there is only one district operating in Gadsden County, a county-level comparison of proficiency against peer districts was not meaningful with a single-district cohort, and the data notes that explicitly. A graduation rate was not reported in the data provided, which is worth asking the school about given that it serves through twelfth grade.

No program offerings data was provided, so advanced coursework, dual enrollment, or career pathway information is absent here. A parent interested in what the upper grades look like academically, what courses are available to high schoolers, and what post-secondary outcomes have looked like should ask the school directly.

The housing market around Quincy is notably more affordable than both the Florida and national medians, with home values well below those benchmarks and a modest year-over-year decline. Rental price index data was not available. For a family weighing a move into the area, the combination of lower home prices and the school's charter status, which allows open enrollment regardless of residential address within Florida's rules, makes Crossroad Academy potentially accessible from a range of locations in the county.

The district brief for Gadsden County yielded no confirmed recent parent-relevant changes before the research budget was exhausted, so that piece of context was left out rather than guessed at.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
