James Madison Middle School

Summary:

James Madison Middle School is a public middle school in Titusville, Florida, serving 446 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Brevard School District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While James Madison Middle School has seen increased spending per student, from $8,100 in 2019-2020 to $11,491 in 2022-2023, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Brevard district and state averages, with a 32.3% rate in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the 26.1% rate at the nearby Andrew Jackson Middle School. Additionally, the school generally underperforms compared to the Brevard and Florida averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates.

James Madison Middle School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.02% to 70.98% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the 58.44% rate at Andrew Jackson Middle School. When compared to higher-performing schools like Chiles Middle School and Timber Springs Middle, the differences in test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free and reduced lunch rates are quite stark, suggesting that addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving James Madison Middle School's overall outcomes.

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.
