Wakulla Middle School

Summary:

Wakulla Middle School is a public middle school located in Crawfordville, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 486. The school is part of the Wakulla School District, which is ranked 26th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wakulla Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (76.34%) compared to the nearby Fairview Middle School (12.05%) and the state average. The school generally performs better than the state average on various standardized tests, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Geometry, FAST/English Language Arts, and FAST/Math. However, Wakulla Middle School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.3% in 2019-2020 to 34.4% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Wakulla Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 173 out of 956 Florida middle schools in 2012-2013 to 427 out of 1196 in 2023-2024. While the school's performance is generally better than the nearby Fairview Middle School, another school in the Wakulla School District, Riversprings Middle School, has shown stronger performance in some areas, such as EOC/Algebra 1 and EOC/Geometry. Wakulla Middle School's spending per student has increased over the years, and the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may have contributed to its relatively strong 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.
