Summary

Vernon Middle School is a public middle school located in Vernon, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 258 students. The school is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 44 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Vernon Middle School has shown relatively strong performance in certain subject areas, such as Algebra 1 and Civics, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages, the school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.9% to 41.8% in recent years. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.22% to 75% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Roulhac Middle School, which is also in the Washington District, has generally outperformed Vernon Middle School in terms of test scores and other metrics, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Vernon Middle School to learn from its neighbor's best practices. Addressing the underlying causes of absenteeism and the needs of economically disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve overall performance and outcomes.
