How many public middle schools are in Florida?
This count covers public and charter records classified at the middle level. It does not combine other grade configurations or separately grouped private-school records.
How this Florida middle-school count is built.
The count uses K12 Atlas school profiles aligned to the 2024 NCES Common Core of Data. A record appears here when its reported school-level classification is Middle. Schools with combined, ungraded, prekindergarten, secondary, or unreported configurations appear in the state’s other-level directory.
Miami accounts for 56 listings, or 8.4% of this directory count. That describes record distribution only; K12 Atlas does not rank school quality.

Where Florida middle schools appear in the directory.
The 580 records are distributed across 55 reported districts and 222 cities. That statewide coverage matters because a single total does not show whether listings are concentrated in a few large systems or spread across many local school organizations.
Miami-dade is the largest district group on this page by middle-school record count, with 76 listings, or 11.4% of the statewide total. The five most represented districts account for 245 records (36.8%), while 11 districts contribute one record each.
At the city level, Miami has 56 listings. The five most represented cities together account for 166 records (25.0%), and 105 cities have one listing in this level-specific directory. These are record counts, not school rankings or quality judgments.

This breakdown keeps sector labels separate from school level. Private-school records without a comparable CCD level are listed under the state’s other-level directory, so they are not silently added to this middle-school answer.
