Original Research by School Decision on Red Hills Academy
Red Hills Academy was a charter school located on Austin Davis Avenue in Tallahassee, Florida, serving middle school grades. The school is now closed, and its operational record in the available data is essentially bare. Enrollment figures, demographic breakdowns, free and reduced-price lunch rates, and state assessment results are all absent from the record, a common situation for smaller charter schools that have since ceased operating. There is nothing here from which to characterize the school's academic program, student body, staffing, or outcomes.
For a parent researching this school specifically, the most important fact is that it no longer operates. Anyone who encountered this name through a search or a reference should know to look elsewhere when considering options in Leon County.
The surrounding context is Tallahassee, a city where state government, three universities, and a substantial healthcare sector shape the local economy and daily life. The housing market in the zip code where the school was located sits close to Florida's statewide median, with home values that have been roughly flat year over year while rents have edged upward. The city overall is car-dependent outside of downtown, Midtown, and the areas near the universities, though investment in transit infrastructure, including a new southside transit center that broke ground in 2024, reflects gradual attention to connectivity. Leon County is on a slow growth path, with planners projecting meaningful new housing demand over the coming decades and zoning conversations underway to allow denser development.
The parent district is Leon County Schools. A search for recent district-level changes relevant to parents turned up no confirmed results before the research effort was exhausted, so that piece is left out here rather than filled with speculation.
