Riverbend Academy

Riverbend Academy is a school located in Tequesta, FL, serving grades -1–12 and approximately 85 students. Operated by Martin, the campus sits about 19.2 miles from The Palm Beach's newsroom and is part of The Palm Beach's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 10 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 8.5:1. That ratio is below the state average for FL, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Riverbend Academy is a traditional zoned public school within Martin, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for FDOE are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Palm Beach publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

The Palm Beach covers Riverbend Academy's news as part of broader education reporting for Tequesta families and educators.
