Middleton High School

Summary:

Middleton High School is a public high school located in Tampa, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,511. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Middleton High School stands out from nearby schools like Chamberlain High School, Tampa Bay Technical High School, and King High School with its significantly higher percentage of African American students (47.39%) and lower academic performance across various metrics, including graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and standardized test scores. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 89.1% in 2018-2019 to 79.6% in 2022-2023, and its chronic absenteeism rate reached an alarming 53.3% in 2022-2023, much higher than the surrounding schools.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Middleton High School, ranging from 57.31% to 65.3% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. However, the data also indicates pockets of academic success, such as the school's performance in EOC/Geometry and EOC/Biology 1, which could serve as a foundation for broader improvements. Addressing the root causes of the school's high absenteeism and low academic performance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique socioeconomic factors and challenges faced by the Middleton High School community.

Open Quote I opened Middleton Magnet HS in 2002 after spending 39 years in the latest digital electronic hardware and software technology.from TS cryptography through decades of Miniaturization. The students in Computer and Network classes were physically involved in their education, by rebuilding hundreds of donated computers and getting them into the hands of those who would use them for educational purposes. We introduced video security cameras into the school after a tense meeting with the School District. The students installed 8 cameras in the classroom and set up cameras in other teachers rooms. The student performance in state and national competition ( Skills USA and FBLA) was multi-championships. The students opened their own computer repair companies and stepped into the Cyber-security industry. They learned because they were hands-on involved and I respect them and their families for the time and energy spent making them the best they can be. They are the best. Close Quote

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.
