Marco Island Charter Middle

Q: Is Marco Island Charter Middle a good school?

Marco Island Charter Middle ranks 211 th of 1196 Florida middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Marco Island Charter Middle is a public charter middle school serving 322 students in grades 6-8 in Marco Island, Florida, which is part of the highly-ranked Collier County school district.

Marco Island Charter Middle consistently outperforms the Collier County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and Geometry in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 67% and 63% for the county, and 55% and 53% for the state, respectively. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 2.0% to 13.8% over the past few years, compared to higher rates at nearby schools like Golden Gate Middle (16.4%) and Manatee Middle (17.4%). Additionally, Marco Island Charter Middle has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (44.41%) compared to the district average, indicating a more diverse socioeconomic population.

Despite its high academic performance, Marco Island Charter Middle serves a relatively diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. The school's charter status, smaller student population, and potentially more targeted curriculum and instructional approaches may contribute to its strong academic performance, which has earned it a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking in the top 20% of Florida middle schools for the past several years. These factors, along with the school's higher per-student spending of $11,646 in the 2022-2023 school year, suggest that Marco Island Charter Middle may have valuable practices and strategies that could be worth exploring and potentially replicating in other schools.

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.
