Summary:
The city of Micanopy, Florida is home to two public charter schools: Micanopy Area Cooperative School Inc. (PK-5) and Micanopy Academy (6-12). These schools demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, providing parents in the Alachua district with options to consider.
Micanopy Area Cooperative School Inc. stands out as a high-performing elementary school, consistently exceeding Alachua district and Florida state averages in academic assessments. With 55-86% of students proficient or better in various state tests, the school's strong academic performance is complemented by a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. However, the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to the district and state averages, which may warrant further investigation.
In contrast, Micanopy Academy excels in end-of-course exams, with 85% proficiency in Biology 1 and 75% in Civics, significantly outpacing district and state benchmarks. Yet, the school struggles with lower proficiency rates in 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts and Math, suggesting a need for improvement in these areas. Additionally, Micanopy Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22:1, which may be a factor in its academic performance.
