About Success Academy

Founded in 2006, Success Academy has built New York State’s highest-performing public school district and a national model of educational excellence. The network serves 22,000 students across 59 elementary, middle, and high schools, the majority from low-income communities, and admitted by random lottery. Our distinctive K–12 approach delivers outcomes that surpass even affluent districts. To date, 100% of SA’s graduates have been accepted to a four-year college, many to highly selective institutions, and most are first-generation college students. By scaling excellence and reigniting the civic mission of education, Success Academy is leading a movement to reinvent public education so that more children can thrive and achieve in school, college, and life.

2026 Spring Benefit

Celebrating 20 Years of Success Academy

In April 2026, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Success Academy’s launch—an experiment that boldly reimagined every aspect of schooling to address the national crisis of failing schools. Scaling swiftly from a single school in Harlem to the fourth-largest school district in New York State, SA now educates 22,000 children in many of the lowest-income neighborhoods of New York City. Our 59 schools are rigorous, engaging, and efficient – and successful at readying students for higher education and for life. To serve as many families as possible, we are now bringing our proven model of educational excellence to Florida, opening our first schools in Miami in 2027.
