2017 Results
For the ninth consecutive year, Success Academy Charter Schools have scored among the highest-performing schools in New York State. Among the 5,821 scholars who were age-eligible to take the tests, 95% were proficient in math and 84% proficient in ELA. In both subjects, students with disabilities and English Language Learners at Success Academy schools not only surpassed their peers statewide, but also outperformed students without disabilities and native English speakers, respectively, across New York.
Success Academy’s closest peers are the state’s richest school districts like Jericho, Syosset, and Scarsdale. If Success Academy were its own school district, it would rank No. 1 in the state, outperforming the second highest by 10 percentage points in math and 3 percentage points in ELA. This achievement is all the more significant, given that 73% of Success Academy’s testing students are economically disadvantaged.

Scholar Achievements
While we celebrate our scholars’ academic achievements on these exams, Success Academy does not consider test scores the only measure of a child’s education. Our focus is on developing the whole child. From chess and debate tournament wins, art shows and dance performances, to the look of joy on the face of a child who finally understands how to divide fractions, or makes a new friend, we celebrate the many scholar accomplishments throughout each year. We strive to make our schools joyful places of learning, where the pace is fast, the bar is high, and boredom is banished.
