Summary:
There is one high school in the Tsc district, Tallahassee Collegiate Academy, a small school serving grades 9 through 12 with 273 students in Tallahassee, Florida.
Tallahassee Collegiate Academy is a standout for its perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional performance in US History, where 94% of students are proficient—well above the state average. However, the school shows inconsistent performance across subjects. While it excels in English Language Arts (77% proficiency in 9th grade and 67% in 10th grade), it struggles in STEM areas. Biology 1 proficiency dropped dramatically from 98% to 65% year-over-year, and Algebra 1 proficiency was only 34% in the prior year. The school also has a very low free/reduced lunch rate of 4.4%, indicating a largely affluent student body, yet its chronic absenteeism rate is a high 37%, which is above the state average of 31.4%.
Key metrics show the school ranks 192nd out of 838 schools in Florida (77th percentile, 4 stars), a slight drop from the previous year. The student-teacher ratio is 21:1. The high chronic absenteeism rate alongside a perfect graduation rate creates a paradox, suggesting that while attending students perform well, a significant portion of the student body is missing substantial school days. The sharp decline in Biology 1 and weak math scores are critical areas for parents to investigate, as they indicate potential curriculum or instructional challenges despite the school's overall strong reputation in history and English.
