Zip code 34211 in Bradenton, FL, is served by a single middle school, Dr. Mona Jain Middle School, which educates 933 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Manatee County school district.
Dr. Mona Jain Middle School is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for three consecutive years and ranking in the 75th percentile of all Florida middle schools. The school excels in advanced coursework, achieving a remarkable 100% proficiency rate in Geometry and 97% in Algebra 1, far exceeding district and state averages.

The only area where it falls slightly below the state average is 7th Grade Math (49% vs. 53% state).
A key takeaway is the school's effective acceleration of top math students, which creates a "math paradox" where 8th-grade math proficiency (82%) is much higher than 7th grade, as advanced students take separate Algebra and Geometry exams.

With a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.2%—better than both the district and state averages—and per-student spending of $8,894, Dr. Mona Jain Middle School delivers strong academic results and represents a standout educational option in the area.
