YMCA Tiger Academy

YMCA Tiger Academy is a free public charter elementary school at 6079 Bagley Road in Jacksonville’s Northside. Google’s operational listing is titled Tiger Academy and matches that address and phone (904) 309-6840. The Places card has no star rating, no review count, and no hours. Stay Safe Jax does not invent a Google score. Headline is 0. No Yelp card is stored. GreatSchools and local news describe a small Pre-K through fifth-grade charter operated with the YMCA of Florida’s First Coast, on the order of a couple hundred students. This page is that Bagley Road campus, not the Winston Family YMCA on Riverside Avenue and not a generic First Coast YMCA gym. Google marks wheelchair parking and a wheelchair entrance; it does not confirm a wheelchair restroom. Stay Safe Jax did not inspect classrooms. The current public record that residents will actually find is a June 2026 staffing story, not a health-department shutdown. News4JAX reported on June 3, 2026, that teachers said they learned on the last day of school that many would not return. The academy told the station it had reviewed operations and decided to restructure, affecting 20 positions: 10 teaching contracts not renewed and 10 staff jobs cut. The school said affected teachers could reapply and that support was being offered. Action News Jax / Yahoo coverage said the board announced a new CEO and principal and planned open houses so families could meet the new administration. Hoodline’s recap repeated the same News4JAX figures. That is sourced employment news. It is not a reason to invent a safety flag about children. Open flags stay at 0. Parents comparing Northside elementary options should treat this listing as a correctly matched charter school with no stored Google rating and a documented 2026 leadership change. Hoodline’s recap of the same week repeated the News4JAX headcount and noted that in a school of roughly 200 students, twenty positions can touch most classrooms. That still is not a reason to invent a safety flag. Ask the school for current hours, enrollment, and who is in the building this fall. It is not a YMCA fitness branch and not a private Beaches school.
