Summary

Ivy Academy Inc. is a public charter high school located in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 470 students. The school is part of the Hamilton County school district, which is ranked 87 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ivy Academy Inc. has shown a mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain subject areas and student groups, but also areas for improvement. The school has outperformed the Central High School and Red Bank High School in subjects like Algebra II, Biology I, and English II, but lags behind the high-performing magnet schools in the district, such as Chattanooga High School Center for Creative Arts and Signal Mountain Middle/High School. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the years, with no significant improvements or declines observed.

One area of concern for Ivy Academy Inc. is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 18.9% to 21.1%, higher than the district and state averages. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important focus area for the school to improve overall student outcomes, particularly in subjects like English Language Arts where the school has struggled to match the district and state proficiency rates.
