Summary:
The city of Citra, Florida is home to two schools - North Marion High School and North Marion Middle School. Both schools serve students in the Marion school district, which is ranked 62 out of 67 districts in the state.
North Marion Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages in several subject areas, including Algebra 1, Geometry, and Civics. In contrast, North Marion High School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the exception of US History. However, the high school does have a commendable 89.7% four-year graduation rate, which exceeds the state average.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 31.4% and a relatively low-income student population, with over 64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues and identifying the factors contributing to the academic performance disparity between the middle and high school could be key to improving the overall educational outcomes for the district.
