Summary

Tallahassee School Of Math & Sciences is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Tallahassee, Florida, with 589 students. The school is part of the Leon school district, which is ranked 47 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 3 stars in 2018-2019 to just 1 star in the most recent 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, it stands out for its significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the Leon district and Florida state averages in several key areas, including EOC/Algebra 1 (92% proficient vs 59% and 60%), EOC/Biology 1 (86% proficient vs 67% and 67%), and FAST Math for 6th and 7th grades (65% and 63% proficient vs 59% and 55%).

However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.9% to 36.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Tallahassee School Of Math & Sciences has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.84% to 56.54% over the past few years. When compared to other nearby schools in the Leon district, the School Of Arts And Sciences On Thomasville and The School Of Arts & Sciences Centre, both public charter schools, have higher statewide rankings and better test scores than Tallahassee School Of Math & Sciences, particularly in science and math. Additionally, Gilchrist Elementary, a traditional public school, outperforms Tallahassee School Of Math & Sciences across most subject areas and grade levels.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending ($7,735 to $9,908 over the past few years) and moderate student-teacher ratio (16.3 to 20.2), the school's performance on standardized tests has declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and support systems to better serve its student population. The unique characteristics and performance of Tallahassee School Of Math & Sciences, as well as the nearby schools, provide valuable insights for the school's leadership and the Leon district to consider as they work to improve educational outcomes for all students.
