Summary:
Zip code 32667, serving the Micanopy area, is home to a single high school, Micanopy Academy, a small school within the Alachua County district that serves grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of just 67 students.
Micanopy Academy presents a mixed picture of strengths and challenges. On the positive side, the school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate (2023-2024), significantly outperforming both the district (87.7%) and state (92.2%) averages. It also consistently excels in Civics, with 85% of students proficient compared to 70% in the district and 77% statewide. However, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism (35.5% in 2023-2024), which is above district and state averages, and this likely contributes to poor performance in core subjects like math and science. For example, only 20% of 6th graders are proficient in math, and just 31% are proficient in Algebra 1, both far below state averages. The school's state ranking has been highly volatile, swinging from a 4-star rating (86th percentile) in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating (28th percentile) in 2025-2026, a pattern typical of very small schools where a few students' scores can dramatically shift overall percentages.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Micanopy Academy offers a close-knit environment with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.1:1, which may help explain its perfect graduation rate and strong civics performance. However, the high absenteeism rate and weak math and science scores are significant concerns that suggest the school may need to better target its resources. The extreme year-to-year swings in state rankings also mean that a single year's data can be misleading, so it is important to look at long-term trends rather than focusing on any one year's rating.
