Open Quote Best public middle school I have seen. Hands down better for my kids than any other one I have seen in FL or ANY State. Close Quote

Open Quote First year with a son in 6th grade. Car rider in the afternoon is a nightmare. Unorganized, no traffic coordination, Michigan Ave is at a standstill. I see 1 staff member in lot who lacks people skills and doesn't know what he is doing. I never see the staff smile or make an effort. Several other moms agree. I have also found the teachers to treat students as if they are in Kindergarten and not giving them the respect and confidence boost that is most needed at this age. Assigned seats for lunch is over kill. No lockers for the 25 lbs required binders/supplies for class and to be carried in a book bag to each class. Spanish class is not for the entire year and this information was not passed on in advance. One teacher told my son that everyone is guaranteed an "A" for the class as long as they are in the class. We came from Hickory Tree Elementary and it is apples and oranges. HTE was a fabulous, well put together school with outstanding staff, teachers and principle. (Mr. Knoble). Huge let down at SCMS.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
