Summary

Mater Academy Davenport Middle School in Davenport, FL, is a small public charter school serving 334 students in grades 6 and 7, and it stands out as a high-efficiency academic performer within the Polk district.

This school is a math and science powerhouse, achieving top-tier results on a lean budget. For example, 92% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, the highest rate among all nearby schools, and 82% are proficient in Biology 1. Every grade level scores above the state average in math, a feat no other school in the comparison group can claim. This is especially impressive given that the school spends only $7,318 per student—dramatically less than schools like Water Spring Middle School in Orange County, which spends over $11,000 per student. Mater Academy also outperforms its closest neighbor, Horizon Middle School in Osceola County, in nearly every academic metric, despite Horizon spending $3,000 more per student and having smaller class sizes.

The school’s main area for growth is English Language Arts (ELA), where 6th and 8th grade scores fall below the state average. Chronic absenteeism, at 28.2%, is also a concern, though it is better than the district average of 39.1%. Overall, Mater Academy Davenport is a standout within Polk County, far outperforming peers like Lake Marion Creek Middle School and Shelley S. Boone Middle School, and offers a strong, efficient education for families seeking a focus on math and science.
