In zip code 32428, there is one middle school, Roulhac Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 in Chipley, Florida, within the Washington County school district.
Roulhac Middle School stands out as a strong performer within its district, which ranks in the bottom half of Florida. The school has shown consistent improvement in its state ranking over the past three years, moving from the 56th to the 58th percentile. It excels in key subjects, with 76% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 84% proficient in Civics, both well above district and state averages. The school also boasts a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 29.8%, which is better than both the district (41.8%) and state (31.4%) averages, suggesting a positive school culture. With a student-teacher ratio of 16:1 and spending of $10,721 per student, the school appears to allocate resources effectively.
However, a critical area for improvement is a significant drop in 7th-grade math proficiency, where only 40% of students were proficient in the most recent school year, compared to 68% in 6th grade and 75% in 8th grade. This "7th grade math slump" is well below district and state averages and points to a potential curriculum gap. Overall, Roulhac Middle School is a bright spot in a lower-performing district, with strong results in high-stakes subjects and consistent improvement, but it needs to address the specific challenge in 7th-grade math to ensure all students succeed.
