Summary

Bronson Middle/High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Bronson, Florida, with a student population of 523. The school is part of the Levy School District, which is ranked 36 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bronson Middle/High School has faced some challenges in recent years. Its 4-year graduation rate has declined from 98.2% in 2023-2024 to 88.0% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby Chiefland Middle High School (89.7%) and Williston Middle High School (89.7%). The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.5% to 33.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, Bronson Middle/High School's test scores are generally lower than the Levy district and the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

While Bronson Middle/High School has seen increased spending per student, from $8,437 in 2020-2021 to $11,083 in 2022-2023, this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. The school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.8 to 19.6 in recent years, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Comparing Bronson Middle/High School to nearby charter and magnet schools, such as Siatech Mycroschool Inc., Santa Fe College Academy Of Science And Technology, Trenton High School, and Newberry High School, suggests that alternative educational models may be more effective in serving the needs of the local community.
