Summary

Jewett Middle Academy Magnet is a public magnet middle school located in Winter Haven, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 587 students. This school stands out within the Polk School District, which is ranked 61 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jewett Middle Academy Magnet consistently outperforms the Polk district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 79% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 39% for Polk and 60% for Florida. In Geometry EOC, Jewett Middle had an impressive 97% proficiency, far exceeding the 38% for Polk and 55% for Florida. The school also demonstrated strong performance in Civics EOC (95% proficiency) and 8th grade Science (51% proficiency), outpacing both Polk and Florida. However, Jewett Middle has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 39.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Jewett Middle serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 43.86% to 56.05% over the past few years, higher than the state average. This suggests the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged community. Interestingly, Jewett Middle outperforms most of the nearby schools, such as Crystal Lake Middle and Denison Middle, in academic metrics, but Berkley Accelerated, a public charter school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, ranking among the top 25% of Florida middle schools.
