Summary

New Beginnings Immokalee is a small public middle school located in Immokalee, Florida, serving grades 2-8 with a total enrollment of 26 students. The school is part of the Collier County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio, New Beginnings Immokalee has consistently struggled academically. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.4% to 48.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Collier County average of around 31.4%. Additionally, its test scores are consistently lower than the Collier County and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33% of 6th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 63% in Collier County and 60% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.23% to 90.32% over the past few years, much higher than the Collier County average.

Interestingly, the nearby Corkscrew Middle School and Cypress Palm Middle School, both part of the Collier County School District, have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower free and reduced lunch rates compared to New Beginnings Immokalee. This suggests that the challenges faced by New Beginnings Immokalee are not necessarily shared by all schools in the district, and there may be opportunities to learn from the successes of its neighboring schools.
