Summary

Bleckley County Success Academy is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Cochran, Georgia, part of the Bleckley County School District. Despite higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, the academy consistently underperforms academically, with proficiency rates well below the county and state averages.

On the 2024-2025 Milestones Assessments, Bleckley County Success Academy had only 10.5% proficiency in American Literature and Composition, compared to 41% for Bleckley County High School and 40.4% for the state. The school's performance was particularly low in Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History, with 0% proficiency. In contrast, Bleckley County High School, also part of the district, had proficiency rates ranging from 41.1% to 55.1% on the same assessments.

Bleckley County Success Academy serves a high-poverty student population, with 71.7% to 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, significantly higher than the 55.15% rate at Bleckley County High School and surrounding schools. Despite the higher per-student spending at the academy, the stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools in the same district suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the success or failure of individual schools.
