Bartow is located in the heart of Florida's citrus belt.
The girls planned to stake out a school bathroom and wait for smaller students to enter, according to the police affidavit. They planned to cut their victims' throats, cut up their bodies, eat the flesh and drink their victims' blood, authorities said.
The alleged plot was foiled when administrators searched for them after they didn't show up for class Tuesday. The administrators found them in a bathroom stall and brought them back to their offices where they found the girls in possession of four knives, a pizza cutter and a knife sharpener, police said.
Officials with Polk County Schools said that extra police officers and guidance counselors would be at the school this week.
"School staff quickly responded to a report of suspicious behaviour; the students were taken into custody, and no one was harmed," school officials said in a tweet.
