About Floyd Middle

Serving students from fifth through eighth grade, the school has an enrollment of 75 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1 with seven full-time equivalent teachers. The setting is quite remote, which can offer a close-knit community feel but also poses unique challenges in terms of resources and support services.

Test performance data shows that 38% of students are proficient or above in ELA/Reading, while only 13% meet proficiency standards in Math. These scores suggest there is significant room for improvement and development in the school's curriculum.
The remote rural location means Floyd Middle School relies on dedicated educators to provide a supportive learning environment tailored to the needs of its small student body.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 75 students, Floyd Middle is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
Located in a rural area, Floyd Middle may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
