PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS CLAY

PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS CLAY is a public high school that is part of the CLAY school district, located in ORANGE PARK, FL with about 47 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS CLAY has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pace Center for Girls, Clay, located in Orange Park, Florida, is a specialized educational and social service program designed to meet the unique needs of girls and young women who are navigating academic, social, or emotional challenges. Unlike a traditional public school, Pace operates as a non-profit, gender-responsive intervention program. Its mission is to provide girls with a safe, supportive environment that focuses on their individual potential through a combination of holistic counseling, academic instruction, and life-skills development, helping them build the confidence and tools necessary for future success.

The center utilizes a trauma-informed approach to help students who may be at risk of dropping out of school, becoming involved in the juvenile justice system, or experiencing difficulties at home. By maintaining small class sizes and fostering a personalized atmosphere, the staff works closely with each girl to create an individualized service plan that addresses her specific educational goals and personal well-being. Ultimately, Pace Center for Girls aims to break cycles of adversity, empowering its students to graduate, transition into post-secondary education or careers, and become healthy, productive members of their community.
