Summary

School Of Success Academy-Sos is a small middle school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 145 students in grades 6-8 within the Duval district, where a high percentage of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra 1, with 92% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—a rate that rivals top magnet schools like James Weldon Johnson College Preparatory Middle School (89%) and Julia Landon College Preparatory & Leadership Development S (91%). However, this success is concentrated in math, as proficiency in 8th Grade Science (39%) and 8th Grade ELA (43%) lags behind, creating a stark contrast that suggests a highly effective math program rather than systemic strength across all subjects.

The school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which affects 64.2% of students—more than double the state average and the highest rate among nearby schools. This issue likely undermines the benefits of its low student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1, the lowest in the area, and its higher-than-average spending of $11,744 per student. Despite these resources, the school's overall state ranking has historically been low, though it recently climbed to the 20th percentile, its best in years. Compared to its closest neighbor, Westside Middle School, SOS outperforms in nearly every subject, including Algebra 1 (92% vs. 75%) and 8th Grade Math (52% vs. 30%), indicating it provides a better educational outcome for students who attend regularly.

For parents, the key takeaway is that School Of Success Academy-Sos offers a unique opportunity for strong math instruction, particularly in Algebra 1, but its overall effectiveness is hampered by high absenteeism. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio could be powerful assets if attendance improves, potentially allowing personalized attention to drive gains in other subjects. While it is not a top-performing school overall, its recent upward trend and standout math scores suggest it is capable of growth, making it a school to watch for families prioritizing math excellence in a supportive, small-school environment.
