Summary

Bleckley County Success Academy is a small alternative school in Cochran, GA, serving 83 students in grades 6-12 within the Bleckley County district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school serves students who have faced significant challenges in traditional classrooms, and the data reflects that reality. Chronic absenteeism has been a major concern—54.2% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, compared to just 11.7% district-wide. However, the most recent year shows dramatic improvement, dropping to 22.5%. Test scores remain very low, with 0% proficiency in 8th-grade science and U.S. History, and 18.8% in math and social studies. These numbers are far below Bleckley County High School, located just 0.8 miles away, where Algebra I proficiency reached 62% and Biology hit 60.8%. The graduation rate, though volatile, has improved to 91.7%—now exceeding the state average of 87.2%—but the dropout rate of 11.8% remains nearly five times the state average.

Compared to similar alternative schools in the region, this academy actually performs relatively well. Its graduation rate far exceeds Eastman Youth Development Campus (5.3%) and DAC (Dodge County Achievement Center) (55.2%), and its dropout rate is lower than both. The school spends $13,130 per student—slightly more than West Laurens High School ($12,324) and Dodge County High School ($11,703)—reflecting a commitment to this population. The recent drop in absenteeism and rise in graduation rates suggest possible interventions are taking hold, though sustained effort will be needed to improve academic outcomes.
