Summary
Loggers' Run Community Middle School in Boca Raton, FL, is a solid, above-average public school serving 1,114 students in grades 6-8, and it is part of the Palm Beach district. This school has a strong and consistent track record, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the last ten consecutive years, which means it reliably outperforms the majority of schools in the state.
One of the most striking features of Loggers' Run is its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 97% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 98% in Geometry, matching the elite Don Estridge High Technical Middle School. However, this strength contrasts sharply with a notable weakness in 7th-grade math, where only 43% of students are proficient, which is below the state average. This creates a "barbell" profile of elite advanced courses but below-average standard curriculum performance. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6%, which is higher than Don Estridge's 11.6% but similar to Eagles Landing Middle School (21.7%). Despite these challenges, Loggers' Run is the top performer among its non-magnet peers in Boca Raton, consistently ranking higher than Boca Raton Community Middle School, Omni Middle School, and Eagles Landing.
Loggers' Run is also a highly efficient school, spending $12,200 per student, which is lower than nearby schools like Omni Middle ($13,587) and Boca Raton Community Middle ($15,210), yet it outperforms them in overall state ranking. For families living on the border of Broward County, Loggers' Run offers a more reliably high-quality education than many of its neighbors, such as Forest Glen Middle School (44th percentile) or Somerset Academy Riverside Charter Middle School (51st percentile). While Westglades Middle School in Broward is a top-tier school (90th percentile), Loggers' Run remains a premier non-magnet option in the area, offering a strong, well-rounded education without the competitive admissions process of a magnet school.
