Summary

Success Academy At Ghazvini Learning Center is a small alternative high school in Tallahassee, FL, serving 130 students in grades 6-12 within the Leon district, and it faces profound challenges that set it apart from every other school in the area.

The most critical metric is the graduation rate, which stands at just 17.1%—meaning over 80% of students do not graduate. This is dramatically lower than nearby schools: Amos P. Godby High School graduates 79.2% of its students, while Tallahassee Collegiate Academy boasts a 100% rate. Chronic absenteeism is also extreme at 84.9%, compared to the district average of 36.8% and just 0.7% at Leon County Virtual School Franchise. Academic proficiency is in the single digits—0% of 10th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, and only 3% in Algebra 1—while nearby SAIL had 72% proficiency in ELA. The school ranks in the 2nd percentile statewide, compared to SAIL's 75th percentile.

Interestingly, Success Academy spends significantly more per student ($20,038) than any nearby school—Leon High School spends $8,481—yet outcomes remain the worst in the region. This "high spending, low outcome" paradox suggests the school serves the most at-risk population in the county, with over 70% of students economically disadvantaged. The data paints a picture of a "last chance" school where traditional academic models are failing, though a spike in Biology 1 proficiency to 25% offers a small glimmer of hope for targeted interventions.
