Summary

Electa Lee Magnet Middle School is a public magnet middle school located in Bradenton, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 712 students. The school is part of the Manatee School District, which is ranked 41 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its magnet school status, Electa Lee Magnet Middle School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.0% to 39.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in FAST English Language Arts and Math are around 25-33%, compared to the district's 52-61% and the state's 55-60%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.9% to 68.38% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Electa Lee Magnet Middle School to nearby schools within the same district, such as Carlos E. Haile Middle School and Rowlett Middle Academy, it performs significantly worse in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and school rankings. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the magnet program and whether it is truly providing a high-quality educational experience for its students. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Electa Lee Magnet Middle School, ranging from $10,135 to $11,551 over the past few years, the data indicates that the school is underperforming compared to its nearby counterparts and the district and state averages.
