Endeavor Academy

Summary:

Endeavor Academy is an alternative public school located in Brooksville, Florida, serving grades 4-12 with a total enrollment of 132 students. The school is part of the Hernando District, which is ranked 44 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Endeavor Academy faces significant challenges, with extremely low graduation rates (0% for the past 5 years), high chronic absenteeism (ranging from 63.5% to 88.6%), and low academic performance (proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 27% compared to state and district averages of 45% to 67%). The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (72.45% to 82.05%), indicating a population with significant socioeconomic and academic needs. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio (6.1 to 8.2) and high per-student spending ($20,686 to $28,832), Endeavor Academy is struggling to improve student outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Hernando Eschool Virtual Franchise, Srmi @ Renaissance Center, Crest School, and Classical Preparatory School, Endeavor Academy stands out as the lowest-performing school in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the school requires significant interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve student success.

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.
