Summary

Tyrone Middle School in St. Petersburg, FL, is a public school serving 799 students in grades 6-8 within the Pinellas County School District, and it has undergone a remarkable academic turnaround in recent years.

After spending years in the bottom 25th percentile statewide, Tyrone has climbed to the 51st percentile and earned a 3-star rating for three consecutive years. This improvement is most visible in advanced math: 70% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, and an impressive 93% are proficient in Geometry—far exceeding district and state averages. However, the school presents a puzzling "Jekyll and Hyde" math profile. While 6th-grade math proficiency (79%) is the highest among nearby schools like Seminole Middle School and Thurgood Marshall Fundamental, 7th-grade math proficiency drops sharply to 28%. This steep decline is not unique to Tyrone—every nearby school shows a similar pattern, suggesting a district-wide curriculum challenge rather than a school-specific issue.

Despite its academic gains, Tyrone struggles with chronic absenteeism at 37.8%, higher than the district average and schools like Seminole Middle (23.8%) and Thurgood Marshall Fundamental (19.0%). Interestingly, Tyrone's per-student spending ($10,512) is mid-range compared to peers, indicating that how funds are used matters more than the total amount. The school's turnaround is especially striking when compared to Azalea Middle School, located just 1.18 miles away, which remains in the 21st percentile with the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the area. Tyrone's Civics proficiency (80%) is above the state average, while 8th-grade Science (49%) lags behind, pointing to an area for future focus.

My daughter has just started at Tyrone (6th grade), so far so good. She seems to be enjoying the band program and has made lots of friends. We look forward to a good experience at Tyrone. Otherwise, it's Virtual School for us. Close Quote

Tyrone Middle school is absolutely amazing! I am going into High School now and I am so sad that I have to leave Tyrone. Tyrone has an incredible Scholars program, a excellent staff, and students from all walks of life. There are no cliques. I have made many friends at Tyrone. The teachers are great. I have learned so much these years. And I'll truly miss Tyrone. Close Quote
