AMIKIDS MANATEE

AMIKIDS MANATEE is a public high school that is part of the MANATEE school district, located in PALMETTO, FL with about 28 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, AMIKIDS MANATEE has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.

AMIKIDS MANATEE, located in Palmetto, Florida, is a specialized educational and behavioral program operated by the national nonprofit organization **AmiKids**. Unlike a traditional public school, the facility focuses on providing a structured environment for youth who have become involved with the juvenile justice system or are at-risk of dropping out of the traditional school system. The program is designed to redirect the trajectories of its students by emphasizing personal accountability, academic progress, and social development.

The school utilizes the "AmiKids Personal Growth Model," which integrates academic instruction with evidence-based behavioral interventions. By keeping class sizes small and prioritizing individualized attention, the staff works to help students recover school credits and develop the vocational and life skills necessary to transition back into the community or pursue post-secondary opportunities. Through a combination of rigorous academic standards and character-building programming, AMIKIDS MANATEE aims to foster a sense of responsibility and purpose in its students, ultimately reducing recidivism and promoting long-term success.
