Middle Schools in Suwannee

The Suwannee area has only one middle school, Suwannee Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some academic strengths, such as high proficiency rates in Algebra 1 and Civics, it is performing below average overall compared to other middle schools in Suwannee and across Florida.

Suwannee Middle School has a diverse student population, with a majority White student body but significant Hispanic and African American representation. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.2% and relatively low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its statewide ranking of 658 out of 1,196 Florida middle schools further indicate its academic struggles.

Factors that may be contributing to Suwannee Middle School's performance include its high free/reduced lunch rate of 63.9%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population, and its relatively low spending per student of $8,289 compared to the state average. Addressing these challenges and better supporting the diverse needs of its student body could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve outcomes.
