Summary:
The city of Middleburg, Florida is home to 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation. Middleburg High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of Florida high schools and earning a 4-star rating. Meanwhile, Wilkinson Junior High School also excels, particularly in math, with over 70% of students proficient in 8th grade math and 82-100% proficient in Algebra 1 and Geometry.
The data also reveals significant economic challenges faced by many students in Middleburg, with most schools reporting very high free/reduced lunch rates, often over 99%. This suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, the schools show a wide range of racial diversity, with some serving predominantly white populations and others having much more diverse student bodies, raising questions about equity in access and opportunities.
While some schools in Middleburg, such as Clay Charter Academy, excel in advanced math courses, others struggle with academic performance, particularly in areas like chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 18.4% at Clay Charter Academy to 39.4% at Wilkinson Junior High. These disparities point to the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the Clay district have access to a high-quality education.
