PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS

PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS is a public high school that is part of the HILLSBOROUGH school district, located in TAMPA, FL with about 58 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.

The PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS in Tampa, Florida, is a specialized educational and social services program dedicated to providing at-risk middle and high school girls with a supportive environment to succeed. Unlike traditional academic settings, Pace operates on a unique model that integrates comprehensive education, counseling, and life-skills development. The program is specifically designed to address the needs of girls who may be struggling with academic challenges, behavioral issues, or difficult personal circumstances, aiming to help them improve their self-esteem, improve their academic performance, and navigate their personal lives toward a more stable future.

By offering smaller class sizes and individualized attention, the center creates a therapeutic and nurturing atmosphere that empowers students to reach their full potential. The curriculum often focuses on building academic proficiency while simultaneously addressing social-emotional well-being through professional counseling and mentorship. As part of a larger network of Pace centers across Florida, the Tampa location works in conjunction with the Hillsborough County Public Schools system to ensure that these young women stay on a positive track, ultimately aiming to prevent juvenile delinquency and foster the development of resilient, self-sufficient, and successful young adults.
