Despite its high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 85.1% to 89.7%, Second Chance At Ghazvini Learning Center stands out for its significantly lower proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels compared to the Leon District and the state of Florida. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in Algebra 1, English Language Arts, and 8th-grade Math, while the district and state had proficiency rates ranging from 46% to 60%. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 89.6% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Florida State University School and Tallahassee Classical School, both public charter schools, Second Chance At Ghazvini Learning Center stands out as having the lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.25% to 83.54% in recent years, suggests it serves a unique student population with potentially higher needs or challenges. Despite the school's significantly higher spending per student, ranging from $23,294 to $47,174 over the past few years, the additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
