ORANGE YOUTH ACADEMY

ORANGE YOUTH ACADEMY is a public high school that is part of the ORANGE school district, located in ORLANDO, FL with about 52 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 6 teachers, ORANGE YOUTH ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

**ORANGE YOUTH ACADEMY**, located at 3150 39th St in Orlando, Florida, operates as a specialized educational facility under the umbrella of Orange County Public Schools (OCPS). Unlike a traditional neighborhood high school, the academy functions as a residential commitment program. It is designed to provide academic instruction and behavioral support for youth who have been placed in the juvenile justice system, focusing on rehabilitation, education, and social development within a structured environment.

The facility’s curriculum is aligned with state standards, ensuring that students can continue their educational progress toward a high school diploma or GED despite their placement. By integrating classroom learning with therapeutic and vocational support, ORANGE YOUTH ACADEMY aims to address the specific needs of its students, reduce recidivism, and prepare them for a successful transition back into their communities and the workforce upon completion of their program.
