Summary

Tyndall Academy is a public PK-8 school on Tyndall Air Force Base in the Bay district, serving 883 students from military-connected families and offering a unique K-8 pathway that stands out in the region.

This school excels in advanced coursework and middle school performance, setting it apart from nearby schools. On End-of-Course exams, Tyndall Academy achieves 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and Geometry, far exceeding the district averages of 58% and 53%, respectively. Its 8th-grade students also outperform peers, with 77% proficient in science (district: 55%) and 79% in math (district: 65%). Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 17.5%, roughly half the district average of 35.3% and far below schools like Cedar Grove Elementary School (60.1%) and Oscar Patterson Academy (58.9%). The school also operates efficiently, spending $10,981 per student—less than many lower-performing neighbors such as Merriam Cherry Street Elementary ($14,360).

While Tyndall Academy shines in upper grades, early elementary performance is more mixed, with 3rd-grade ELA at 56% (district: 58%) and 4th-grade math at 63% (district: 60%). The school has experienced a dip since Hurricane Michael in 2018, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 3-star, but recent gains suggest a recovery. For families seeking a strong K-8 option with exceptional middle school academics and a stable, supportive environment, Tyndall Academy is a clear standout in the Bay District.
