Faith Christian Academy

Faith Christian Academy serves 214 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Despite its name suggesting a private institution, this is actually a regular public school that maintains a notably small class environment with a 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and 18 full-time equivalent teachers. The school earns an 8.3 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout, though it ranks in the 36th percentile among Florida schools at #933 out of 1,462 institutions statewide.

This suggests the school is performing solidly while having room for continued academic growth compared to other schools across the state. Faith Christian Academy benefits from serving a well-educated and economically stable community. The surrounding 32034 ZIP code area has a median household income of $95,869 and a median home value of $427,700.

Half of local residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, and the poverty rate remains low at just 7.2 percent among the area's 40,026 residents. Located on Brady Point Road, the school sits in a town setting on the fringe of a larger urban area, providing students with both small-town community feel and access to broader regional resources and opportunities.

As a private school, Faith 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.
