While the school has a diverse student population, with the racial makeup being predominantly White, it faces some academic performance challenges compared to state averages.

According to the key insights, Terra Academy's academic performance, as measured by standardized assessments, is generally below the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas.

Additionally, Terra Academy has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.57% to 27.67% over the past three school years, suggesting that the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from lower-income families. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student compared to the state average, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges.
