Summary

Success Academy is a public high school located in Fort Myers, Florida, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 98 students. The school is part of the Lee District, which is ranked 59 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Success Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Florida high schools over the past decade, with performance on standardized tests significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 74.9% over the past few years, and its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 85.1% and 89.7%, which is lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Success Academy has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.29% to 76.53% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Coronado High School, Fort Myers High School, and Dunbar High School, Success Academy generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a more socioeconomically diverse student population. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Success Academy ($37,381) and its low student-teacher ratio, the school has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic performance.
