Summary:
The two middle schools located in Hendry, Florida serve students in grades 6-8. While both schools face challenges, Labelle Middle School appears to be the stronger performer, with higher proficiency rates across several subject areas compared to both the district and state averages.
Labelle Middle School stands out for its higher proficiency rates in Algebra 1, Geometry, Civics, and 8th grade Science, while Clewiston Middle School has an impressive 79% proficiency rate in Algebra 1, significantly above the district and state averages. However, both schools have room for improvement, as their proficiency rates are generally below the state averages.
The high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 36% at both schools, may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 70% at both schools, suggest these institutions serve economically disadvantaged communities, which may require additional resources and support to improve student outcomes. The difference in student-teacher ratios, with Labelle Middle School having a lower ratio, may also be a factor in their academic performance.
