Summary

Success Academy is a middle school serving grades 4-8 in Sacramento with an enrollment of only one student for the 2024-2025 school year, placing it in the bottom percentile of all California schools within the Sacramento City Unified district.

The school's academic performance is critically low, with 0% of students testing proficient in English, math, and science, a stark contrast to nearby schools like California Middle (47% ELA proficiency) and Harriet G. Eddy Middle in the higher-performing Elk Grove Unified district. Chronic absenteeism is severe at 65%, more than double the rate of the highest nearby school, and the school spends over $41,000 per student, which is significantly more than surrounding schools but has not led to better outcomes.

This combination of minimal enrollment, extreme absenteeism, and poor results despite high per-student funding suggests the school faces unique challenges. While the tiny size allows for a very low student-teacher ratio, it eliminates peer interaction and group learning. Compared to all other local options, including Cesar Chavez Intermediate less than a mile away, Success Academy's performance is an extreme outlier, indicating it may serve a specific, last-resort role within the district's educational offerings.
