Summary

Boca Raton Community Middle School is a public school in Boca Raton, FL, serving 1,058 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Palm Beach district, which has a 3-star rating statewide.

This school has seen a notable decline in its state ranking, dropping from a consistent 4-star rating to a 3-star rating in recent years. The most significant academic concern is in 7th grade math, where only 15% of students are proficient—far below the district average of 45% and the state average of 53%. This is a stark contrast to nearby Don Estridge High Technical Middle School, just 1.83 miles away, which is a 5-star school with 85% proficiency in 7th grade math. However, the school excels in advanced math courses, with 97% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 100% in Geometry, showing that its gifted program is highly effective. English Language Arts (ELA) performance is a bright spot, with 7th and 8th grade scores (72% and 69%) above both district and state averages.

Chronic absenteeism is a major issue at 26.1%, higher than the district average of 23.4% and significantly above high-performing peers like Don Estridge (11.6%) and Omni Middle School (17.7%). This post-pandemic spike is a strong predictor of the school's declining test scores. Despite spending $15,210 per student—the highest among nearby schools—proficiency in core subjects like 6th grade ELA (59%) and 6th grade math (57%) lags behind the district averages (63% and 65%). This suggests potential issues with resource allocation or instructional effectiveness. Addressing absenteeism and standard math instruction could be key to reversing the school's downward trend.
