Summary

Maitland Middle is a public school in Maitland, FL, serving 786 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Orange County school district, and it stands out for its exceptional advanced math program and strong science scores, though it faces challenges with grade-level math in 7th grade.

Maitland Middle’s biggest strength is its advanced math performance. In Algebra 1 and Geometry End-of-Course exams, the school consistently achieves near-perfect proficiency rates (99-100%), far surpassing district and state averages and even outperforming nearby high-performing Seminole County schools like Rock Lake Middle School (94% Algebra 1) and Indian Trails Middle School (85% Algebra 1). However, the school has a "Jekyll and Hyde" math profile: while 8th grade math proficiency is strong (82%), 7th grade math is a persistent weakness, with only 30% proficiency in 2025-2026—well below the district (44%) and state (53%) averages. Science is another bright spot, with 64% of 8th graders proficient, beating both the district and state. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism (25.2%) than its Orange County peers like College Park Middle (47.1%) and Lockhart Middle (53.5%), suggesting a more stable student body.

Interestingly, Maitland Middle operates efficiently, spending just $9,876 per student—much less than nearby Orange County schools like College Park Middle ($13,886) and the Orlando Gifted Academy ($16,548)—yet achieving better academic outcomes than those peers. The presence of the Orlando Gifted Academy, a 5-star magnet school, likely draws many top-performing students from the area, which may explain why Maitland’s overall ranking (62nd percentile) is solid but not elite. The school’s declining free/reduced lunch rate (from 47.4% to 35.1%) also points to a shifting demographic. For parents, Maitland Middle offers a strong foundation in advanced math and science, but the 7th grade math slump is a key area to investigate if your child is entering that grade.

Teachers don't teach , all the kids do is fight, smoke and do drugs in the bathroom, and skip class. Puled my son out of there! It is a bad place with bad kids and teachers. Close Quote

I have issues with the sports program at Maitland Middle School, why hold try outs for sports if the coaches already know who they will choose?! My daughter gave her all at Volley Ball try outs and came home from day two saying she was cut and all the girls who have return try outs have been on the team before or all the girls the coach knows (including her own daughter). How is that fair? Not a very good way to build self esteem people. Close Quote
