Summary

Trafalgar Middle School is a public middle school located in Cape Coral, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 973 students. The school is part of the Lee District, which is ranked 59 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Trafalgar Middle School has a strong performance history, ranking in the top 25% of Florida middle schools for several years, with a current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trafalgar Middle School consistently outperforms the Lee District and the state of Florida in various standardized tests, with 86% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 compared to 49% for the district and 60% for the state. The school also has higher proficiency rates in EOC/Civics, Statewide Science/Science, and FAST/English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. However, Trafalgar Middle School has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.7% to 36.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and may be an area for improvement.

Interestingly, Trafalgar Middle School outperforms most of the nearby middle schools in the Lee District, including Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle School, Lexington Middle School, and Cypress Lake Middle School, in terms of test scores and overall school rankings. However, the nearby Oasis Charter Middle School has consistently higher test scores and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that it may be a model for Trafalgar to emulate.
