Summary

Greco Middle Magnet School in Temple Terrace, FL, serves 764 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Hillsborough district, where over 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance consistently in the bottom 10% of Florida middle schools for the past five years and a zero-star rating in recent evaluations. The most critical issue is an extraordinarily high chronic absenteeism rate of 59.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, nearly double the district and state averages of about 31%. This rate is also much higher than nearby schools like Terrace Community Middle School, which has only 9.0% chronic absenteeism, and Williams Middle Magnet School, at 13.6%.

Despite overall struggles, Greco shows a striking anomaly in advanced math: 95% of students taking the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam were proficient, compared to the district and state averages of 63%. However, this likely reflects a small, accelerated group, as only 43% of 8th graders are proficient in grade-level math. In other subjects, performance is weak—Civics proficiency is 37% and 8th Grade Science is 27%, far below state averages of 77% and 52%, respectively. These scores are the lowest among all magnet schools in the area, including Ferrell Middle Magnet School and Franklin Middle Magnet School.

The data strongly suggests that the absenteeism crisis is the root cause of academic struggles, with nearly 6 out of 10 students missing significant school time, making grade-level achievement difficult. While the school spends $11,388 per student, in line with the district average, this investment is undermined by low attendance. A glimmer of hope is that 8th-grade math proficiency (43%) is the highest of any grade-level subject, possibly indicating some progress as students advance. For parents, this school requires careful consideration of attendance support and academic interventions, as its magnet designation alone does not guarantee success compared to other magnets like Young Middle Magnet School or Liberty Middle School.
