ESTEEM ACADEMY

ESTEEM ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the ORANGE school district, located in WINTER GARDEN, FL with about 26 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 7 teachers, ESTEEM ACADEMY 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.

ESTEEM ACADEMY is a specialized program operating under the umbrella of Orange County Public Schools (OCPS), located in Winter Garden, Florida. It is specifically designed to serve students who require a more supportive, structured, or individualized educational environment than what is typically found in a traditional high school setting. The academy focuses on helping students overcome academic and behavioral challenges, providing them with the necessary tools to earn their high school credits, improve their attendance, and remain on a successful path toward graduation.

The program emphasizes a holistic approach to student development, prioritizing both academic achievement and social-emotional growth. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and faculty, ESTEEM ACADEMY creates a personalized learning atmosphere that aims to boost student confidence and engagement. Ultimately, the academy serves as a vital resource for families within the OCPS district, ensuring that students who may have struggled in conventional classrooms are given the guidance and resources required to achieve their long-term educational and career goals.
