The school is part of the Duval school district, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the most concerning issues at School Of Success Academy-Sos is its significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools and the state average. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had a 57.9% chronic absenteeism rate, much higher than the Duval district average of 54.1% and the state average of 45.1% at Orange Park Junior High School.

Another notable factor is the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 83.11% in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Julia Landon College Preparatory & Leadership Development School (18.34%) and Lavilla School Of The Arts (30.7%).

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.
