Summary

North Bay Haven Charter Academy Middle School in Panama City, FL, is a high-performing public charter school serving 526 students in grades 6 through 8, and it consistently ranks among the top 20% of middle schools in Florida.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in math and English language arts. For example, 6th-grade math proficiency is 89%, far above the Bay district average of 60% and dramatically higher than nearby Jinks Middle School (30%). North Bay Haven also achieves 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and Geometry end-of-course exams. Another key differentiator is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6%, which is less than half the state average and a fraction of the 49.4% rate at Jinks. This suggests a highly engaged student body and a strong school culture. The school achieves these top-tier results while spending less per student ($7,857) than its traditional public school peers, such as Mowat Middle School ($9,006) and Merritt Brown Middle School ($10,960), indicating efficient resource management.

While North Bay Haven is a powerhouse in math and reading, its Civics EOC scores (80%) are above the state average but lower than those at Bay Haven Charter Middle School (88%), suggesting a potential area for growth. The school has also shown resilience, rebounding strongly after a slight dip during the pandemic to climb back into the top 10% of Florida middle schools. For parents seeking a school with consistent, high academic standards, strong attendance, and efficient operations, North Bay Haven is a standout choice in the Panama City area.
