The school is part of the Clay District, which is ranked 10th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Middleburg Elementary stands out for its unique racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (82.65%) compared to the state and district averages. In contrast, nearby Discovery Oaks Elementary has a much more diverse student population. Middleburg Elementary has also experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.1% in 2019-2020 to 34.2% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. However, the school's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with a notable exception in 6th grade math, where it exceeds the proficiency rates.

Another significant change at Middleburg Elementary is the sharp increase in free/reduced lunch recipients, from 48.64% in 2020-2021 to 100% in the last two school years. This suggests a significant shift in the socioeconomic status of the student population, which could have implications for the school's resource needs and support services. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $9,041 in 2020-2021 to $9,682 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, potentially indicating a focus on providing additional resources and support for the students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
