Summary

Stewart Middle Magnet School is a public magnet school in Tampa, FL, serving 793 students in grades 6-8 within the Hillsborough school district, where about 56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Stewart stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 91% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 93% in Geometry—scores that rival top magnets like Williams Middle Magnet School (95% and 97%) and Wilson Middle School (97% and 100%). However, the school struggles with on-grade-level math, where only 37% of 6th graders and 32% of 7th graders are proficient, well below district and state averages. This creates a "barbell effect": the school excels with its top-tier students but leaves many others behind. In English Language Arts, Stewart performs moderately, with 53% of 6th graders proficient, compared to 59% in the district and 62% statewide. This places it in the middle tier—better than lower-performing schools like Pierce Middle School and Memorial Middle School, but far behind high-performers like Coleman Middle School (86% in 6th grade).

Chronic absenteeism at Stewart is 30.6%, which aligns with the district average and sits between low-absenteeism high-performers (Coleman, Williams, Wilson at 13-16%) and high-absenteeism lower-performers (Pierce, Sligh, Memorial at 45-47%). This suggests attendance is a key factor in the school's overall performance. Notably, Stewart's state ranking has been declining for five years, dropping from the top 40-60% to the 33rd percentile. Spending per student ($10,709) is not a clear predictor of success, as Franklin Middle Magnet School spends more ($16,155) but ranks lower, while Williams spends less ($9,232) and ranks higher. Stewart's main challenge is translating its advanced math success into broader gains for all students while reversing its downward trend.
