Micanopy Academy

Q: Is Micanopy Academy a good school?

Micanopy Academy ranks 287 th of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Micanopy Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Micanopy, Florida, with a student population of 88. It is part of the Alachua school district, which is ranked 43 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Micanopy Academy consistently outperforms the Alachua district and the state of Florida in several academic metrics, such as 85% of students being proficient or better in EOC/Biology 1 compared to 69% for Alachua and 67% for Florida, and 75% proficiency in EOC/Civics compared to 60% for Alachua and 67% for Florida. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.27%) compared to the nearby schools, which tend to have a higher proportion of African American and Hispanic students. Additionally, Micanopy Academy has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.6% to 36.5% over the past 5 years, which is higher than the state average and the nearby schools.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Gainesville High School, Challenge At Alachua Academy, and A.Quinn Jones Center, Micanopy Academy stands out with its strong academic performance, but also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.05%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 46.66% to 96.88%. This suggests that Micanopy Academy may have access to more resources and funding, which could contribute to its academic success, but also raises concerns about equity and access for the surrounding community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
