Summary

Success Academy is a public high school located in Pensacola, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 260 students. The school is part of the Escambia School District, which is ranked 52 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Success Academy consistently performs significantly below the Escambia district and Florida state averages across various standardized tests, including EOC (End-of-Course) exams and FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in EOC Algebra 1 was 15% at Success Academy, compared to 50% in the Escambia district and 60% statewide. Success Academy's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 78.4% and 89.7% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 90%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 61.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

The nearby schools, such as Washington Senior High School, Escambia County Acceleration Academy, and Pensacola High School, generally perform better academically than Success Academy, with higher proficiency rates in standardized tests and higher graduation rates. These schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve a less economically disadvantaged student population, with lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, West Florida High School/Technical, a magnet school in the Escambia district, stands out as an exceptional performer, with much higher academic proficiency rates and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, in contrast to the 1-star rating of the district and Success Academy.
