Summary

Tallahassee School Of Math & Sciences is a K-8 charter school in Tallahassee, FL, serving 621 students within the Leon district, where about half of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has a unique "split personality" that sets it apart from nearby schools. While its elementary grades (K-5) often trail district and state averages in math and English, the middle school program (6-8) shows a dramatic turnaround. For example, in 7th-grade math, the school scored 72% proficient, outperforming both the district (58%) and state (53%). This "middle school bounce" is not seen at nearby K-8 schools like The School Of Arts And Sciences On Thomasville or The School Of Arts & Sciences Centre, which maintain high performance across all grades. The school also excels in advanced coursework, with Algebra 1 proficiency at 83% and Civics at 82%, both well above state averages. This suggests the school is particularly effective at accelerating its top students, even as it struggles to build strong foundations in the early grades.

Operationally, the school achieves these results with fewer resources than its peers. It spends about $9,120 per student—lower than nearby schools like Ruediger Elementary School ($12,271) and Sealey Elementary School ($14,258)—and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio of 16.7:1. Chronic absenteeism, while improving, remains a challenge at 27.9%. The school's primary challenge is translating its middle school success down to the elementary level to create a more consistent K-8 experience.
