Summary:
The middle schools located in Leon, Florida serve students in grades 6-8 across 8 campuses. The data reveals significant differences in academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics among these schools.
The top-performing schools are William J Montford III Middle School and Deerlake Middle School, which have the highest statewide rankings, strongest test scores, and lowest chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, Raa Middle School, Elizabeth Cobb Middle School, and Fairview Middle School have the lowest statewide rankings, poorest test scores, and highest chronic absenteeism rates.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, with the highest-poverty schools also having the lowest test scores. Additionally, there are indications of racial disparities, as the schools with majority African American student populations generally underperform those with majority white student populations. While funding levels vary across the schools, the relationship between spending and academic achievement is not entirely clear.
