Summary

South Seminole Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Casselberry, Florida, serving 910 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Seminole County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite its magnet school status, South Seminole Middle School has consistently lower proficiency rates compared to the Seminole County and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in FAST Math for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were 35%, 57%, and 28%, respectively, compared to the Seminole County averages of 71%, 72%, and 33%, and the Florida state averages of 60%, 50%, and 57%. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.1% in 2022-2023 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average.

When comparing South Seminole Middle School to nearby schools within the Seminole County School District, it performs significantly lower in terms of test scores and state rankings. For example, Rock Lake Middle School, located approximately 4.4 miles away, consistently outperforms South Seminole Middle School in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. The school's declining performance over the past several years, as evidenced by its decreasing state rankings and lower proficiency rates, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes and improve student outcomes.
