NORTH TAMPA EPIC 3 CENTER

NORTH TAMPA EPIC 3 CENTER is a Title I public high school that is part of the HILLSBOROUGH school district, located in TAMPA, FL with about 84 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, NORTH TAMPA EPIC 3 CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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 **NORTH TAMPA EPIC 3 CENTER** (often referred to as the North Tampa Education Program) is a specialized alternative learning facility operating under the Hillsborough County Public Schools district. Designed to serve students who may require a non-traditional educational environment, the program focuses on providing academic instruction and behavioral support tailored to the unique needs of its student population. Its primary goal is to help students overcome barriers to academic success, maintain progress toward graduation, and eventually reintegrate into a traditional school setting or transition successfully into post-secondary life.

As part of the larger Hillsborough County school system, the center utilizes the district’s curriculum frameworks while incorporating intensive guidance, smaller class sizes, and personalized intervention strategies. By offering a structured and supportive atmosphere, the NORTH TAMPA EPIC 3 CENTER aims to address both the academic and social-emotional needs of its students, ensuring that they receive the resources necessary to reach their full potential despite previous challenges in the classroom.
