Summary

Gadsden Elementary Magnet School in Quincy, FL, is a small, high-performing PK-8 public magnet school serving 121 students within the Gadsden district, which faces significant challenges but where this school stands out as a beacon of academic success.

This school dramatically outperforms its immediate neighbors in the Gadsden district. For example, in 3rd Grade Math, Gadsden Magnet achieved 100% proficiency, compared to just 39% at nearby Stewart Street Elementary School. Its students also excel in advanced coursework, with 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 92% in Civics—rates that far exceed both the district and state averages. A key factor in this success is the school's exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which is much lower than other Gadsden schools like George W. Munroe Elementary School (17.4:1). The school also benefits from high per-student spending of $23,871, a significant investment that supports its specialized magnet program.

Despite these strengths, Gadsden Magnet faces notable challenges. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with a rate of 32.2% in 2023-2024, which, while better than the district average of 56%, still exceeds the state average. Additionally, the school shows inconsistent performance across grade levels, particularly in 6th Grade Math, where proficiency dropped to just 36%—far below the state average of 60% and even lower than W. R. Tolar K-8 School (54%). This suggests a need for targeted support in middle school mathematics to maintain its overall trajectory of excellence.
