Summary

Global Leadership Academy High School is a public high school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 626 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Duval County school district, an area where many schools face significant challenges.

The most striking feature of Global Leadership Academy is its exceptional graduation rate of 97.0%, which outpaces both the district (94.3%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this success in graduating students stands in stark contrast to its low academic proficiency rates. For example, only 22% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 63% statewide. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with 51.2% of students missing too many days, though this has improved from 60.8% the previous year. Interestingly, the school shows stronger performance in some subjects, with 60% proficiency in Biology 1 and 66% in US History, suggesting specific instructional strengths.

Compared to nearby schools, Global Leadership tells a complex story. Sandalwood High School, just 3.26 miles away, outperforms it in nearly every academic metric and has lower chronic absenteeism (41.6%), yet its graduation rate (99.3%) is only slightly higher. More dramatically, Lone Star High School, only 2.22 miles away, has a 55.3% graduation rate and 99.4% chronic absenteeism, making Global Leadership appear highly stable by comparison. The school spends $8,603 per student, less than nearby schools like Douglas Anderson School Of The Arts ($9,625) and River City Science Academy ($9,737). While the school is on an upward trajectory, its next challenge will be translating its success in keeping students enrolled into stronger academic growth.
