RIVERBEND ACADEMY

RIVERBEND ACADEMY is a Title I public school that is part of the MARTIN school district, located in TEQUESTA, FL with about 141 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, RIVERBEND ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

RIVERBEND ACADEMY, located in Tequesta, Florida, is a specialized educational institution operating under the umbrella of the Martin County School District. Unlike a traditional neighborhood public school, the academy functions as an alternative learning environment designed to serve students who may require a more tailored or structured approach to their education. Its primary mission is to provide academic support and behavioral guidance to students who are at risk of falling behind or who benefit from a smaller, more focused classroom setting than what is typically found in a comprehensive high school.

The academy emphasizes a curriculum that keeps students on track for graduation while addressing individual learning needs and personal development. By leveraging the resources of the Martin County School District, RIVERBEND ACADEMY aims to bridge the gap for its students, helping them overcome academic hurdles and prepare for future post-secondary or career opportunities. The school’s environment is focused on fostering student accountability, improving academic engagement, and ensuring that every student has a pathway to earning their high school diploma.
