Summary

Santa Fe College Academy Of Science And Technology0922 is a public charter high school in Gainesville, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 73 students. The school is part of the Alachua school district, which is ranked 45 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional academic performance, particularly in science. In the 2024-2025 school year, Santa Fe College Academy Of Science And Technology0922 had a 93% proficiency rate in EOC/Biology 1, significantly outperforming the Alachua district (67%) and the state of Florida (71%). The school also had strong results in 10th and 9th grade FAST/English Language Arts, with 79% and 76% proficiency, respectively, compared to 57% and 54% for Alachua, and 58% and 56% for Florida.

However, the school faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20% to 31.6% over the past few years. When compared to nearby charter high schools, such as North Central Florida Public Charter School and Siatech Mycroschool Inc., Santa Fe College Academy Of Science And Technology0922 appears to have significantly stronger academic performance, particularly in core subject areas. The school's smaller size, with only 73 students, may allow for more personalized attention and support, but the high chronic absenteeism rates could impact student learning and achievement.
