Tyrone Middle School

Summary:

Tyrone Middle School is a public middle school in St. Petersburg, Florida, serving 847 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Pinellas District, which is ranked 23 out of 68 districts in Florida and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Tyrone Middle School has some notable strengths, particularly in its performance on End of Course (EOC) exams. In the 2023-2024 school year, 88% of Tyrone students were proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to just 54% for the Pinellas District and 55% for the state of Florida. The school also had higher proficiency rates in EOC/Civics and Statewide Science/Science for 8th grade compared to the district and state averages. However, Tyrone's performance in FAST/English Language Arts and FAST/Math for 6th-8th grades was generally lower than the district and state. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.8% in 2019-2020 to 30.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Bay Point Middle School (16.5%) and Meadowlawn Middle School (21.1%).

Tyrone Middle School also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.24% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to nearby schools like Seminole Middle School (46.51%) and Thurgood Marshall Fundamental (52.89%). This, coupled with the school's higher spending per student (reaching $10,305 in 2022-2023), suggests that Tyrone may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population and may require additional resources and support services to address the needs of its students.

My daughter has just started at Tyrone (6th grade), so far so good. She seems to be enjoying the band program and has made lots of friends. We look forward to a good experience at Tyrone. Otherwise, it's Virtual School for us. Close Quote

Tyrone Middle school is absolutely amazing! I am going into High School now and I am so sad that I have to leave Tyrone. Tyrone has an incredible Scholars program, a excellent staff, and students from all walks of life. There are no cliques. I have made many friends at Tyrone. The teachers are great. I have learned so much these years. And I'll truly miss Tyrone. 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.
