Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Putnam, Florida - Putnam Academy of Arts and Sciences. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning.
Putnam Academy of Arts and Sciences generally underperforms compared to the Putnam district and the state of Florida in most academic areas, including ELA, Math, Science, and End-of-Course exams. The school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.6%, which is likely a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (75.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $11,677, the school has an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 177:1, suggesting a potential lack of personalized attention and support for students. The school's leadership and the district should work to address these issues and implement strategies to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Putnam Academy of Arts and Sciences.
