Summary

Gamble Rogers Middle School in St. Augustine, FL, serves 896 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated St. Johns County School District, though it stands out for serving a more economically diverse population than many nearby schools.

One of the most important things to know about Gamble Rogers is that it has a "two-tiered" academic profile. On one hand, students in advanced courses perform exceptionally well—the school achieved 100% proficiency in Biology 1 and 88% in Geometry on End-of-Course exams, often exceeding district averages. On the other hand, grade-level performance in core subjects lags behind district peers. For example, only 55% of 8th graders are proficient in math, compared to 79% district-wide, and 51% are proficient in science versus 74% district-wide. This gap is especially noticeable when comparing to Pacetti Bay Middle School, just 16 miles away, which has much lower economic disadvantage and outperforms Gamble Rogers in nearly every subject by 10-20 percentage points.

A key challenge at Gamble Rogers is chronic absenteeism, with 32.5% of students missing significant school time—nearly double the rate at Sebastian Middle School and well above the district average of 20.1%. This likely contributes to the school's struggles in core subjects, as students who miss class fall behind in cumulative learning. Despite spending $10,552 per student—more than some higher-performing schools—the school faces unique hurdles tied to its community. For parents considering this school, it offers strong advanced programs but also has clear areas where additional support for attendance and grade-level learning could make a big difference.
