Summary:
The Tsc district contains a single high school, Tallahassee Collegiate Academy, serving grades 9-12 in Tallahassee, Florida, with a total enrollment of 273 students.
Tallahassee Collegiate Academy is a standout institution, ranking 5th out of 70 districts in Florida (93rd percentile) with a 5-star rating. The school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, significantly above the state average of 92.2%. It demonstrates exceptional performance in specific subjects, achieving 94% proficiency in US History and 98% proficiency in Biology 1 in the 2024-2025 school year, both well above state averages. However, the school shows a notable weakness in Algebra 1, with only 34% proficiency compared to the state's 60%. The student-teacher ratio is 21:1, and only 4.4% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a student body from a higher socioeconomic background.
Several interesting findings emerge from the data. The most striking is a dramatic 33-percentage-point drop in Biology 1 proficiency from 98% (2024-2025) to 65% (2025-2026), moving the school from well above to below the state average. Additionally, despite high performance, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 37.0%, higher than the state average of 31.4%, creating a paradox of high achievement alongside significant absenteeism. The school's state ranking has also slipped slightly from the 80th percentile (2024-2025) to the 77th percentile (2025-2026), suggesting a potential trend that warrants monitoring.
