Summary

Fox Chapel Middle School is a public middle school located in Spring Hill, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 779 students. The school is part of the Hernando District, which is ranked 48 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Fox Chapel Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida middle schools, with a ranking between 645 and 1035 out of over 1,000 schools.

Fox Chapel Middle School faces several significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 52.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the Hernando district and the state of Florida averages. The school also generally underperforms compared to the district and state in most academic subjects and grade levels, with lower proficiency rates in Algebra 1, Geometry, 8th grade Science, and English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.91% to 71.23% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Fox Chapel Middle School to other nearby middle schools in the Hernando and Pasco districts, it becomes clear that Fox Chapel is one of the lower-performing schools in the region. Schools like Brooksville Engineering Science and Technology (B.E.S.T.) and Gulf Coast Academy of Science and Technology, which are also in the Hernando district, significantly outperform Fox Chapel on test scores and other metrics. The high chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school are likely contributing factors to its poor academic performance.
