Gamble Rogers Middle School

Q: Is Gamble Rogers Middle School a good school?

Gamble Rogers Middle School ranks 473 rd of 1196 Florida middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Gamble Rogers Middle School is a public middle school in St. Augustine, Florida, serving 925 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the St. Johns District, which is ranked 4th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Gamble Rogers Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in various standardized test scores, particularly in End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 89% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC, 100% in Geometry EOC, and 100% in Biology 1 EOC, compared to the state averages of 55%, 53%, and 67%, respectively. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (75.89%) of white students, which differs from some nearby schools like Sebastian Middle School and R.J. Murray Middle School, which have more diverse student populations.

Another area of concern for Gamble Rogers Middle School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 11.5% in 2019-2020 to 29.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby Pacetti Bay Middle School, which had a 14.0% chronic absenteeism rate in 2022-2023. However, the school has seen a steady increase in its spending per student, from $7,647 in 2019-2020 to $9,634 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the spending per student at some nearby schools, such as Pacetti Bay Middle School ($7,557) and Indian Trails Middle School ($7,428).

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.
