Summary

Hobbs Middle School in Milton, FL, serves 743 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Santa Rosa County School District, a high-performing district ranked in the top 31% of Florida, though the school itself has seen a notable decline in recent years.

Hobbs Middle School has experienced a downward trend in its state ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating (55th percentile) in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating (44th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This decline is particularly concerning when compared to nearby schools like Thomas L Sims Middle School (6.1 miles away), which has improved to the 79th percentile, and Holley-Navarre Middle School (18.6 miles away), which remains strong in the 66th-81st percentile range. A critical weakness is chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 24.0% (2023-2024), significantly higher than high-performing district peers like Woodlawn Beach Middle School (16.1%) and Thomas L Sims (14.4%). This absenteeism rate is likely a major driver of the school's academic struggles.

Academically, Hobbs shows a dramatic split in math performance. In advanced courses like Algebra 1 and Geometry, the school excels with 93-100% proficiency, far exceeding district and state averages. However, in grade-level math, performance is poor, especially in 7th-grade math, where only 31% of students are proficient—the lowest among all Santa Rosa County middle schools and well below the district (54%) and state (53%). This suggests the school effectively accelerates top-tier students but struggles to support the majority in mastering grade-level standards. With a student-teacher ratio of 23.9:1—the highest among its Santa Rosa peers—and over 62% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Hobbs faces significant challenges that require focused attention on attendance and math intervention to reverse its downward trend.
