i3 Academy

The i3 Academy district in Alabama consists of two schools: i3 Academy Phase 1, an elementary school, and i3 Academy Phase 2, a middle school. Both schools have relatively low performance metrics compared to the state averages, with i3 Academy Phase 1 ranking 555th out of 680 elementary schools and i3 Academy Phase 2 ranking 348th out of 439 middle schools in Alabama for the 2024-2025 school year.

The academic performance of both i3 Academy schools is significantly below the state averages. At i3 Academy Phase 1, proficiency rates in Mathematics range from 10.96% to 26.39%, compared to the state average of 39.31% to 45.47%, and proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 39.73% to 53.62%, below the state average of 60.93% to 65.34%. Similarly, i3 Academy Phase 2 has proficiency rates in Mathematics ranging from 7.69% to 11.65%, well below the state average of 24.08% to 33.97%, and proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 36.26% to 42.72%, lower than the state average of 54.48% to 56.81%.

Both i3 Academy schools also face challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 14.8% at both schools, higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates of 60.71% at i3 Academy Phase 1 and 74.5% at i3 Academy Phase 2. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the low academic performance and high absenteeism rates, and the district may need to implement targeted strategies to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for its students.
