Yulee Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, which is significantly higher than the state average and dramatically outperforms nearby schools in the Duval County district. For example, 6th and 7th-grade math proficiency rates are 89% and 87%, respectively, compared to just 24% and 20% at Highlands Middle School. In 8th-grade science, Yulee achieves 78% proficiency, a stark contrast to the 17% at Arlington Middle School and 49% at Fort Caroline Middle School. The school also shows impressive year-over-year growth, with 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency jumping from 55% to 81% over three years. Additionally, Yulee has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (30.3%) compared to the Duval district average (36.0%) and far lower than schools like The Bridge To Success Academy Middle School (81.6%).

Despite its large size, Yulee Middle achieves top-tier results, highlighting effective systems and instruction. One area for attention is a consistent drop in 8th-grade math proficiency (68%) compared to 7th grade (87%), a pattern seen across all Nassau County middle schools. Notably, higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes—Yulee spends $10,881 per student, while lower-performing Duval schools like Jean Ribault Middle School spend $12,483. The school’s success, combined with a declining rate of economic disadvantage (32.2% eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024-2025), reflects a positive community trend. Overall, Yulee Middle School is a strong, rapidly improving choice for families seeking a high-performing middle school in the region.

I moved to Yulee/Fern Beach area from the Northeast. We could have had our 2 kids go to Fern Beach or Yulee schools. The Yulee schools are much nicer and more modern. They have good teachers and the MS guidance counselors are awesome! The MS has a great sense of pride and school spirit and their athletics program and coaches are awesome. Close Quote
