As measured by standardized test scores, the students at Success Academy outscore contemporaries in both urban public schools and wealthy suburban schools in the New York City area. In New York City, 47% percent of public school students passed state reading tests, and 43% passed math tests. At Success schools, corresponding percentages were 91% and 98%. These scores come from a student group made up of 95% children of color, with families having a median income of $32,000. No new students above the fourth grade are accepted at Success. [...] In June 2017, Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools awarded Success Academy with the 2017 Broad Prize for Public Charter Schools, an award recognizing the best academic outcomes in the nation for low-income students and students of color. In 2015, the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and other charter advocates developed the concept of a multi-million dollar, multi-year Great Public Schools Now project to create 260 new charter schools representing 50% of the charter market share in Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to serve as a model for the expansion of charter schools in the United States. [...] Statistics gathered by the New York State Education Department show much higher rates of suspension at most Success Academy schools than at public schools. School spokesmen have denied improper treatment of any student, and founder Eva Moskowitz has defended school practices as promoting "order and civility in the classroom". The selection method for admission has come under fire for an "abdication of responsibility" to educate all children within a geographic area. Moskowitz responds by noting that traditional neighborhood schools can "institutionalize housing segregation, making a child’s zip code his educational destiny" while charter schools are tools for "social justice" by allowing parents to choose schools beyond geographic constraints.

The rapid expansion of Success Academy was facilitated by a highly centralized structure. Unlike the district school system and other charter schools, Success Academy separated its academic and administrative/logistical functions. Principals and associate principals focused primarily on the academic arm of their schools, so they could specialize and hone in on academic improvement. Each school had a business operations manager to ensure the facility was well-equipped, safe, clean, and efficiently run. A central entity dubbed the “Network” oversaw the administrative and logistical arm of the entire Success Academy system: hiring and training of teachers and staff, curriculum design and development, building renovations, enrollment, supply chain, payroll, and other centralized support. [...] As Success Academy worked to achieve a high level of excellence in student outcomes, teacher training, family involvement, and extracurricular programs, many of its processes had been iterated and reiterated to optimization. Still, Success Academy’s curriculum and structure had not remained stagnant. Everyone, from teachers to principals to Moskowitz herself, continuously sought ways to improve. This produced a culture conducive to quick adjustment and flexibility. [...] On May 26, 2021, after over a year of remote learning, all 129 scholars of Success Academy’s High School of the Liberal Arts convened virtually for their graduation ceremony. Even more remarkable than graduating 100% of the senior class during a pandemic, was the 100% college acceptance rate and the fact that 71% of students received at least one offer that met their family’s full financial need.

Nearly 20 years ago, we launched a revolution in schooling. We promised students, families, and educators that there is a better way – that they didn’t have to settle for failing district schools. Today, Success is one of the nation’s highest-achieving school districts, educating 22,000 K-12 scholars across 57 schools in New York City. Ninety-five percent of our scholars are children of color and three-quarters live at or below the poverty line, but they consistently outperform their affluent suburban peers across the wide range of external exams from New York State tests to APs and SATs. All our scholars – 100% – have been admitted to 4-year colleges, most of them with the financial aid that makes higher education possible for their families. [...] After two decades, we have demonstrated that we can reverse, not just close, the achievement gap. Our alumni are proof that exceptional outcomes are possible for all children, and that great schooling can be achieved at scale. As they graduate from college, they are paving the way for those who follow, serving as campus leaders, earning advanced degrees, and launching careers in STEM, finance, and education, among many other fields. We could not be more proud of them and all that they stand for. [...] ## Our New K-12 Campus, Opening August 2026 Success Academy’s new K–12 Campus opens in 2026! From kindergarten through high school, scholars will learn in spaces designed to grow with them: state-of-the-art STEM labs, arts and athletics facilities, and outdoor areas for play and collaboration.

As a public charter school, Success Academy is open to all Indiana residents, regardless of ZIP code. Why? Because we believe your address shouldn’t dictate the quality of your education. ### Private Schools Private schools are expensive. Success Academy is free. That means no application fees or tuition, and free or reduced-price lunches and technology fees for qualifying students. Why? Because we believe your bank account shouldn’t dictate the quality of your education. ### Other Schools
