Summary

Seminole Middle School in Plantation, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 1,014 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Broward County Public School District, and it has shown a strong upward trend in recent years, climbing from the 37th to the 51st percentile in state rankings.

This school truly shines in advanced coursework, with an exceptional 97% of students proficient in Geometry—a remarkable 41 percentage points above the state average and on par with top performers like Pioneer Middle School and Indian Ridge Middle School. Biology scores are also strong at 93% proficiency, far exceeding district and state averages. However, there is a notable gap in on-grade-level math: only 38% of 8th graders are proficient in FAST Math, well below the state average of 61%. On a positive note, English Language Arts (ELA) scores have been consistently improving across all grades, with 7th-grade proficiency rising from 46% to 67% over three years. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 18.7, which is lower than many higher-performing neighbors like Pioneer (22.5) and Indian Ridge (21.8), suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes.

Despite these academic strengths, a major concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has more than tripled to 38.4%—the highest among comparable schools except for Plantation Middle School and New River Middle School. This issue threatens to undermine recent gains. Overall, Seminole is a solid middle-ground option in a diverse local market, outperforming schools like Plantation Middle and Driftwood Middle School while trailing Nova Middle School and Indian Ridge. Its primary challenge is to bridge the gap between its high-achieving advanced students and those struggling with grade-level math, while also tackling the root causes of its high absenteeism.
