Summary

Williston Middle High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Williston, Florida, part of the Levy school district. With 1,126 students and a student-teacher ratio of 21.3, the school faces several challenges, including fluctuating graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and lower-than-average test scores compared to the state and nearby schools like North Marion High School and West Port High School.

One notable issue is the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.38% to 61.28% in recent years, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge. Despite an increase in per-student spending, from $7,901 in 2020-2021 to $9,608 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance and overall ranking have not shown significant improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying issues.

Williston Middle High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 307 out of 734 Florida high schools in 2018-2019 to 503 out of 844 in 2024-2025. This decline, coupled with the school's lower-than-average test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student engagement, teacher quality, and overall academic outcomes.
