Summary
Endeavor Academy is an alternative public school located in Brooksville, Florida, serving grades 4-12 with a total enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Hernando District, which is ranked 48 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Endeavor Academy has had relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.0% to 89.7% in recent years, which is higher than the Hernando District average. However, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district, ranging from 30.9% to 40.8% in recent years. Endeavor Academy's test scores are also significantly lower than the Hernando District and the state of Florida across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Endeavor Academy's proficiency rates are projected to be 5% in Algebra 1, 14% in Geometry, and 6% in 8th grade Science, compared to the Hernando District's 50%, 42%, and 44% respectively, and the state's 60%, 55%, and 49%.
Interestingly, Endeavor Academy's performance is significantly lower than the nearby Pasco Virtual Instruction Program and Hernando Eschool Virtual Franchise, which are also alternative public schools. The virtual schools appear to have higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Endeavor Academy has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.73% to 82.05% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
