Summary

Avalon Middle School is a public middle school located in Milton, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 768 students. The school is part of the Santa Rosa school district, which is ranked 20th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Avalon Middle School consistently outperforms the Santa Rosa district and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Geometry, and FAST/Math for 8th grade. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Avalon Middle School had 100% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 and EOC/Geometry, compared to 64% and 68% for the Santa Rosa district, respectively. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 20% to 31.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Avalon Middle School's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools in the Santa Rosa district, such as Gulf Breeze Middle School and Woodlawn Beach Middle School. When compared to schools in the Escambia school district, which is ranked 52nd out of 67 districts in Florida, Avalon Middle School's academic performance is significantly higher, with 78% proficiency in FAST/Math for 8th grade, compared to much lower proficiency rates at nearby Escambia schools.
