Summary

Kissimmee Middle School is a public school in Kissimmee, FL, serving 892 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Osceola district, which has a 1-star rating and ranks 57th out of 70 districts in the state.

The most critical issue at Kissimmee Middle is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.6% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is the highest among all nearby schools and significantly above the state average of 31.4%. For comparison, nearby Sports Leadership Arts Management (Slam) has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.8% and a 5-star rating, while Neptune Middle School has a rate of 19.4%. This absenteeism crisis is directly linked to the school's low academic performance, with proficiency rates in standard subjects like 6th-grade math (28%) and 7th-grade math (15%) falling 20-30 percentage points below state averages. However, the school shows a striking contrast: it achieves near-perfect scores in advanced courses like Geometry (100%) and Algebra 1 (91%), suggesting that a small group of high-achieving students is well-served while the majority struggle.

Interestingly, the school's per-pupil spending of $11,550 is higher than the district average and exceeds that of high-performing peers like Slam ($10,331) and Neptune Middle School ($10,435), indicating that funding is not the primary issue. The school's challenges are likely tied to how resources are used and the overwhelming impact of absenteeism. A glimmer of hope exists in 8th-grade math, where proficiency (59%) meets the district average, offering a potential model for improvement. For parents, the key takeaway is that while Kissimmee Middle excels for a select group of advanced students, the school must urgently address its absenteeism crisis to create a stable learning environment for all students.
