ACCELERATION EAST

ACCELERATION EAST is a Title I public high school that is part of the ORANGE school district, located in ORLANDO, FL with about 184 students offering grade levels from 8th 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 16 teachers, ACCELERATION EAST has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

ACCELERATION EAST, located in Orlando, Florida, is an alternative high school within the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) district. The school is specifically designed to support students who are credit-deficient or who have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. By providing a smaller, more focused setting, the school aims to help students recover necessary credits, improve their academic performance, and stay on track for graduation.

The school’s curriculum and culture are built around the concept of "acceleration," offering flexible scheduling and individualized learning paths to help students reach their academic goals more quickly. Because it operates as an alternative program, ACCELERATION EAST emphasizes personalized attention, smaller class sizes, and a supportive atmosphere that prioritizes social-emotional growth alongside academic achievement. The ultimate mission of the school is to re-engage students in their education and ensure they earn their high school diploma and become college or career ready.
