About Calvary Christian Academy

Calvary Christian Academy serves 138 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in Middleburg, Florida, offering an intimate educational environment with an impressive 8.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio. With only 17 full-time equivalent teachers, the school provides personalized attention that contributes to its outstanding academic reputation. The school has earned a remarkable 9.2 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout and ranks #227 out of 1,462 schools statewide, placing it in the 84th percentile among Florida schools.

This exceptional performance reflects the quality of education students receive in this close-knit learning community. Despite being classified as a regular public school in the data, the small enrollment creates an atmosphere where educators can focus on individual student needs and foster strong relationships. The low student-teacher ratio allows for differentiated instruction and meaningful mentorship opportunities throughout a student's entire K-12 journey.

The school operates in Clay County's 32068 ZIP code area, where the median household income is $81,030 and median home value is $233,100.

Calvary Christian Academy is situated in a large suburban area that provides families with the benefits of both community connectivity and educational excellence.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 138 students, Calvary Christian Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 8.1:1, Calvary Christian Academy offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Calvary Christian Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
