Summary

Corkscrew Middle School in Naples, FL, serves 1,013 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Collier district, currently holding a 4-star rating after a period of 3-star ratings. This school is a standout in mathematics, especially in Algebra 1, where 86% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 63% and competitive with top local schools like North Naples Middle School (98%) and Oakridge Middle School (95%). However, it faces a unique challenge: while 6th and 8th-grade math scores are strong, 7th-grade math proficiency (69%) lags behind, and 8th-grade English Language Arts (66%) is below the district average, signaling a need for targeted support in those areas.

Compared to its nearest neighbor, Cypress Palm Middle School (4.34 miles away), Corkscrew outperforms in most subjects despite spending less per student ($11,565 vs. $13,569) and serving a slightly more affluent student body. For example, 6th-grade ELA at Corkscrew is 77% versus 68% at Cypress Palm. Yet, when compared to the district’s elite, like Oakridge Middle School (a 5-star school), Corkscrew trails in every subject, highlighting the gap to top-tier peers. The school’s chronic absenteeism rate (15.7%) is lower than the district average (17.4%) but higher than Oakridge’s (10.8%), suggesting room for improvement in student attendance.

Encouragingly, Corkscrew is on a strong upward trajectory. After a dip in performance from 2021-2022 to 2023-2024, its state ranking jumped from the 64th percentile to the 77th percentile in 2025-2026, driven by dramatic improvements in 6th-grade ELA (from 50% to 77% proficient) and math (from 72% to 81%). This recovery, combined with a manageable chronic absenteeism rate and strong math outcomes, paints a picture of a resilient school that is effectively navigating challenges and building positive momentum for families in the Naples area.
