Holley-Navarre Middle School in Navarre, FL, serves 823 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Santa Rosa district, a district ranked in the top third of Florida.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework and math. A remarkable 100% of students taking the Algebra 1 EOC were proficient, and 88% were proficient in Civics—both significantly higher than district and state averages. Its 8th-grade math proficiency of 76% is the highest among nearby schools like Hobbs Middle School (63%) and Martin Luther King Middle School (56%), and well above the state average. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6%, far better than the state average of 31.4% and many local peers. While its state ranking has declined slightly in recent years, this is because other schools are improving faster, not because Holley-Navarre’s quality has dropped—its test scores have remained stable and high.

Holley-Navarre is a clear academic leader in its immediate area, outperforming schools like Avalon Middle School and Hobbs in nearly every subject. It achieves these strong results while spending $8,693 per student, which is less than many lower-performing schools, indicating efficient use of resources. The main comparison is with Gulf Breeze Middle School, which has higher scores but serves a more affluent population. For parents, Holley-Navarre offers a strong, efficient education with standout programs in advanced courses and math, making it a top choice in the region.
