Tyndall Academy

Summary:

Tyndall Academy is an elementary school located in Tyndall AFB, Florida, serving around 800 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Bay District, which is ranked 28 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Tyndall Academy consistently outperforms the Bay District and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Geometry, EOC/Civics, Statewide Science/Science, and FAST/English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Tyndall Academy had 89% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 55% for the Bay District and Florida. The school's performance in Statewide Science/Science for 8th grade is particularly impressive, with 88% proficiency, compared to 52% for the Bay District and 45% for Florida. However, Tyndall Academy has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12% in 2019-2020 to 47% in 2018-2019, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools.

Tyndall Academy has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 55.38% White, 15% African American, 15.38% Hispanic, 1.25% Asian, 0.5% Native American, 0.75% Pacific Islander, and 11.75% two or more races. This diversity is generally higher than the nearby schools, such as Bay Haven Charter Academy, which had a 36.21% free and reduced lunch rate in 2022-2023, compared to Tyndall Academy's 41.25%. These factors, along with Tyndall Academy's consistent academic excellence, suggest that the school is effectively serving its unique military community population.

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.
