Summary

Jewett Middle Academy Magnet in Winter Haven, FL, is a public magnet school serving 566 students in grades 6-8, and it stands out as a strong academic leader within the Polk district, which overall faces significant challenges.

This school consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in nearly every subject. For example, 99% of students are proficient in civics, far exceeding the state average of 77%, and 80% are proficient in Algebra 1, compared to just 49% district-wide. Jewett also excels in advanced coursework, with 87% proficiency in Geometry versus 38% in the district. A key differentiator is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 39.1% and much better than nearby schools like Crystal Lake Middle School (49.8%) and Lake Alfred Polytech Academy (54.0%). This strong attendance and engaged student body contribute to Jewett’s upward trajectory, climbing from the 45th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 65th percentile currently.

While Jewett is a clear standout, it does have one consistent challenge: 7th-grade math, where only 35% of students are proficient, below the state average of 53%. The school also achieves its results with efficient spending of $10,438 per student, less than several lower-performing nearby schools. For parents comparing options, the contrast between Jewett and Denison Middle School, located just 1.67 miles away, is striking—Jewett holds a 3-star rating and 65th percentile rank, while Denison sits at 0 stars and the 10th percentile. Overall, Jewett Middle Academy Magnet offers a high-quality, well-rounded education with a strong focus on advanced academics and student engagement.
