Manatee Middle School

Q: Is Manatee Middle School a good school?

Manatee Middle School ranks 639 th of 1196 Florida middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Manatee Middle School is a public middle school in Naples, Florida, serving 749 students in grades 6-8. As part of the Collier School District, which is ranked 14th out of 68 districts in Florida, Manatee Middle School stands out for its diverse student population and strong academic performance.

One key differentiator is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (65.55%) compared to nearby schools like Cypress Palm Middle School (29.46%) and Corkscrew Middle School (63.57%). Additionally, Manatee Middle School outperforms the state and district averages in several test score categories, including Algebra 1 EOC and 6th grade Math FAST, despite having a high percentage of students (63.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

While Manatee Middle School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (17.4%) compared to the nearby schools, the school's higher spending per student ($11,300) suggests it may have access to more resources and support, which could be contributing to its academic success. By collaborating with nearby schools, such as North Naples Middle School and Oakridge Middle School, Manatee Middle School could share best practices and explore ways to address the chronic absenteeism challenge, ultimately providing an even stronger educational experience for its diverse student population.

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.
