Summary:
Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy PCS is the only school in this area list, serving grades PK–8 with 310 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 20% in ELA and 14% in math, compared with 40% and 28% statewide; the school was below the state in both subjects, with the smaller gap in math.
There is no meaningful school-to-school comparison with only one school, but grade-level results show both a relative bright spot and a low point. Third-grade math was 36%, just 4 percentage points below the state’s 41%—the closest reported grade-level result to its state comparison. Eighth-grade ELA was 8%, 37 points below the state’s 45%. The school’s fifth-grade ELA and eighth-grade math results are suppressed and cannot be compared.
Results changed unevenly between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: ELA stayed around 20% while the state rose from 38% to 40%, widening the ELA gap from 18 to 20 points; math increased from 11% to 14% while the state rose from 26% to 28%, narrowing the math gap from 16 to 14 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 60th of 128 schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, after 102nd of 126 (19th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024; its 2025–2026 ranking fell to 90th of 124 (27th percentile, 1 star). The school reports a 6.7 student-teacher ratio and that 55% of students were directly certified for free meals in school year 2024–2025; these are context, not explanations for the results.
