Summary

Sebring Middle School is a public middle school in Sebring, Florida, serving 787 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Highlands District, which is ranked 43 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sebring Middle School consistently outperforms the Highlands District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with 91% of students proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1 compared to 54% for the district and 60% for the state. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 76.87% of Sebring Middle School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby Lake Placid Middle School and Avon Park Middle School, also part of the Highlands District, Sebring Middle School generally outperforms them in test scores and other metrics. This suggests that Sebring Middle School may be the stronger performing middle school within the district. The school's focus on STEM education and strong math instruction is evident in its exceptional performance in Algebra 1 and Geometry, but the high chronic absenteeism rate remains a concern that the school may need to address.
