Summary

Deaf Middle School (FSDB) is a small public middle school in St. Augustine, Florida, serving grades 6-8 and part of the Deaf/Blind District, which is ranked 67th out of 67 districts in the state. With only 80 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming on standardized tests compared to the state and nearby schools.

Deaf Middle School (FSDB) has proficiency rates ranging from 6% to 51% on various assessments, while the state averages range from 49% to 71%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, from 21.1% to 36.1%, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, between 65% and 79.76%. Despite spending significantly more per student, from $37,169 to $45,310 per year, the school's academic performance lags behind nearby St. Johns district schools, such as Alice B. Landrum Middle School, Pacetti Bay Middle School, Gamble Rogers Middle School, and Sebastian Middle School, which consistently outperform the state averages.

As a specialized school serving deaf and blind students, Deaf Middle School (FSDB) may face unique challenges and needs that require a different approach or additional support to address the academic and social-emotional needs of the students. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.7 to 6.0, suggests that resources are available, but they do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to support the success of this unique educational institution.
