Summary

Wakulla Middle School in Crawfordville, FL, serves 476 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Wakulla school district, which ranks in the top 36% of Florida districts.

Wakulla Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 81% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 100% in Geometry on End-of-Course exams—well above state averages of 63% and 56%. However, this success masks a challenge: while top-tier students excel, only 53% of 8th graders are proficient in grade-level math, below the state average of 61%. In English Language Arts, the school performs above state averages but trails its in-district peer, Riversprings Middle School, particularly in 7th grade (59% vs. 78% proficient). Compared to Fairview Middle School in Leon County, which serves a more economically disadvantaged population, Wakulla provides a more consistently strong education for its entire student body, not just advanced learners.

The most significant area for improvement is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 37.5%—higher than the state average of 31.4% and a key factor preventing the school from consistently earning a 4-star rating. The school’s best recent performance (73rd percentile, 4-star) coincided with a pre-pandemic absenteeism rate of just 17.3%. Reducing absenteeism is the single most impactful step the school can take to close achievement gaps in 8th-grade math and 7th-grade ELA, and to build on its strong post-pandemic recovery in 6th-grade math proficiency, which has climbed from 64% to 76%.
