Summary:

Timber Springs Middle is a public middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 1,020 students in grades 6-8. As part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in the state, Timber Springs Middle consistently outperforms the district and state averages in key academic metrics.

Timber Springs Middle's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students scoring significantly higher than their peers on standardized tests like EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Geometry, EOC/Civics, Statewide Science/Science, and FAST/English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 86% of Timber Springs Middle students were proficient in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to just 53% for Orange County and 55% for the state of Florida. This strong academic performance places Timber Springs Middle among the top-performing middle schools in the state.

In addition to its academic achievements, Timber Springs Middle stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 30.88% White, 10.88% African American, 46.57% Hispanic, 7.84% Asian, and 3.33% two or more races. This diversity is higher than some nearby schools, such as Liberty Middle and Odyssey Middle, which have higher Hispanic populations and lower White and Asian populations. However, Timber Springs Middle has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2018-2019 to 23.6% in 2022-2023, which could impact its academic performance.

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.
